The CHAPTER 2 PRELUDE, Part 2 of 3!

2QxrOt8.png

In come the Pheraen guests!

MFA9y7e.pngAAhDLQX.pngPdGKLhF.png26u7dKd.pngivsGycu.png

Plenty of greetings!

Lyn: It’s wonderful to see you too! But Eliwood…

Isadora: Lord Eliwood is busy preparing for the ceremony of ascension.

Harken: He asked us to escort Lady Ninian here in his place.

m1EkZzb.pngonZysXb.png

Ah well. Looks like both the male lords are gone.

Ninian: He really wanted to come, to see everyone’s faces again…

Lyn: And he will, soon enough. We’ll all see him at his ceremony of ascension, right?

Ninian: Ah, yes. He would be so pleased if everyone came!

6wNXqtZ.pngDbgpIwt.png

Group three!

T0q3itL.pngBAIZh0o.pngwpRPyEO.pngG1d0vGE.png

Every single character has to say something...

Erk: It certainly has been a while since our last gathering…

bEgG0rl.png

Lyn: Yes, it’s so nice to see all of you here! But I’m curious… Where is Lord Pent?

Louise: Pent went on a personal expedition… He said he found something interesting written in Athos’s final works that he wanted to investigate. He hasn’t come back, but I’m sure he’s faring just fine…

A lot of the males seem conveniently gone...

zEsV9Cp.pngI7vkYXL.png

But at least all the pegs are here!

zX4oHns.pngXedwtih.png

I might have mentioned this before, but I thought Rath was a girl for all of my original FE7 playthrough, right up until the character endings... he was actually my best fighter, too...

v6LjUrF.pngSGWbaJC.png

Bartre storms in!

InkCPXu.png81u7f3T.png

Bartre: Bah! Old man! You’re getting in my way!

CU8T9VO.png

Bartre cruelly shoves this innocent guy out of the way! He must be REALLY eager to duel Karla!

iyzyrnf.pngznwxVCq.png

He joins the party!

5JvDczt.png5py5gsH.png4GR3WxX.pngZBx0v31.pngr1JyCwg.png

And Sain is all out of the loop...

PjK0Hax.pngLnYXPdV.png

Is Rebecca looking for Sain? Who's finally come back?

Ki1IpOK.pngt2mBQw0.pngQzKILZP.pngBG9j7Je.png

Turns out it's Wil!

V21bTOq.png

Rebecca: You promised you’d come back home to Pherae!

NXUC1ZK.png

Sain sees what's going on here.

U2R6QJb.png

He goes to greet someone else!

d2fq5Oa.png

Sain: It’s been far too long!

Fiora: Oh. Sain. …We meet again.

Sain: But of course! It must be fate! Clearly, it is our destiny to be—

rZUlGmp.pngKLKOUue.png

Right next to you, apparently.

Ca1kpKt.png

Kent: It’s been a while since we saw each other last. I am glad to see you well.

Fiora: Yes, it has been… quite a while.

3WOa74R.png

Once again, Sain at the very least knows when he isn't wanted... if there are other males around.

3Ra994i.png

He talks to this group!

yMdbSHo.png

Priscilla: Oh. Hello, Sir Sain.

Sain: Oooh! Is that smile I see?! To behold your face so alight with joy…! How dazzling! Marvelous!

Erk: …..

Sain: Pray, tell me what is the source of this splendid happiness?

GlEtMdA.png

(Can you guys see the bigger picture here yet?)

ZEQZeKl.pngxavULOI.png

Nice recovery, Sain.

Sain: Congratulations to the both of you!

Priscilla: Thank you, Sain. As you said, I am… so very happy.

Priscilla's trying to convey dislike too.

Sain: Erk, you are a lucky man!

Erk: Yes, I know.

Sain: Uh… Well then! I must be off!

5tEZmVf.png

While Sain's been walking around, other people have been rearranging too. The eventing in this hack is top-notch.

4wPKzpE.png

Isadora: Oh. Hello, Sain.

qrvyxQY.pngKvNE0pX.png

It appears Cedar buys into quite a few pairings.

Harken: Hahaha! You seem surprised.

Isadora: In a couple months, we’re going to celebrate our first anniversary!

Sain: Ahh…

wel5xpk.png

Uh oh...

Sain: No. No, it’s nothing! I am happy…for the both of you!

noJCSlN.png

Next person...

vEFOaNU.png

Sain: Has it truly been a year since I saw you last? It feels like it’s been centuries!

Florina: Ah! Hello, Sain… Uh, how are you?

Sain: I feel great! Nay, more than great! To be able to speak with you once more is such a delight! And you, my dear? How are you feeling this fine afternoon?

Florina: I’m…nervous.

Sain: Nervous? Ah, alas! Pray, tell me what is troubling you, so that I might ease your nerves!

4XSRYmq.pngXsoMNqS.png

I can see why she's nervous...

DlUgDFI.png

Florina: Is…something wrong?

Sain: Oh. No, no! It’s just…I’m in shock! To think that the Florina I met two and a half years ago… would get married!

Florina: Yes… T-that’s what everyone says.

LOjDVG9.pngkVngfFs.png

Sain: Ah. Then… I-I am happy for you as well! Congratulations!

Florina: Thank you, Sain…

0bBfKY1.png

Sain tries to leave, but is intercepted by Bartre!

j219Q0J.pngg4K1Xea.png

Bartre: Hey you! Have you seen Karla?

Sain: Alas, I have not! Why do you ask?

hmKlr1s.pngs9kKTTy.png

Oh, wow. Almost everyone is married or close to getting married!

Bartre: I want to ask her to marry me! But she’s not here. Gwrraaah! No! She must be here somewhere! KARLA?!

UJIzdbN.png

Bartre charges off, leaving Sain alone...

DrXHxb4.png3rrQ0n7.pngN5zVChs.png

And now we see why Sain is sad. Everyone is married but him. And he's out of viable romance targets he could have met previously.

an0BUhk.png7IQF91k.pngATgvC4B.png

ysDlzvz.png

Suddenly, a pegasus knight flies through, one of the few females not taken...

FuQFrD3.png

Farina!

Sain: W-Woah! Farina! Could it be…!

Farina: Oh. It’s you… Where’s Kent?

And of course, she asks for someone else.

eWpWpx6.png

Heh.

...Wait, what else would she do with him?

Farina: He’s not my type, you know?

Sain: Yes, I must agree! Perhaps you should stay with me instead!

Dcv1ZhH.pngx1kypbq.pngI1T9V2M.png

And thus, Sain's last love interest edges out...

NXES7xy.pngO9SXVgr.png

But he's desperate!

HTs92Ap.png

We hear a bonking, and-

8SGqG28.png

This is the best. And it's not the first time it'll happen. We even get a "ding!" sound.

WHAT WILL SAIN WAKE UP TO? FIND OUT NEXT TIME!

This episode, all in all, clocks in at well over 600 images. This is probably the longest episode in Moniker history, and maybe the wordiest chapter in all ROMhack history.

Finishing up...

The CHAPTER 2 PRELUDE: Part 3 of 3!

ngFQA6p.png0f2pMF8.png

He awakes, safe and-

8UN2FkA.png

???? WHAT?

tuFFGGO.pngKC8Fo0D.png

He's in a... prison cell?

lI4rx9M.pngLrLtNS8.png

Wait, WHAT?!

kQboj8Q.png

Lyn: You heard right! We made all the men leave the castle, so we could deal with you ourselves!

b0LImfQ.png

What did they DO to them?

hmdlkc8.pngZqP2Wjg.png

Oh. Makes sense.

gGDeMzX.pngPLtHa0n.png

Bartender: Our fancy ale is beyond compare! Our Blue Wine is imported straight from Etruria—The best in all Elibe! Come, have a drink! Be merry here, friend!

KWnrP3i.pngLxBPGWg.pngv8AFEvv.png

And now for... THE DRUNK SCENE!

9dnhe5z.pngMPdQmEl.pngrcSLM4L.png

a7F5rC3.pngQOkHJru.pngCLK0YyW.png

hj49UIO.png

I feel like I'm watching some cartoon.

g3PztHE.png1EWATxp.png

Raven: …Idiot.

Jdkh9PZ.pngqCYgJv1.png

And of course...

RfQYpYg.png

Guy: It’s only because he chugged that entire bottle—

Matthew: Too bad. We agreed the first one to pass out loses. A bet’s a bet, you know…

Guy: Blast…

cDIMZk5.png

Matthew: Hey, Wil.

uFCnEly.pngJhr6oVP.png

I wouldn't be betting on Wil.

Wil: I don’t know, man. Something tells me that silent types can hold their liquor.

k6kKls8.pngRG7Rqi4.png

They forced them down?

hGKUlW1.png

...

...

...

I think I'll all just let you admire the beauty. Saying anything would ruin it.

Rdu6Yf5.pngSdaoUj7.pngqTVFfnp.png

xXg51ij.png

"Yeah" indeed.

81vKhiw.png

And now, BACK TO OUR "HERO"!

MDAwcl4.png2IaMsGP.pngI40CXdC.png

Lyn: They won’t be returning any time soon. Luckily for you, we still need to discuss the details of your punishment…

KmrC4lM.png

What are they gonna DO?

Lyn: That’s right. You’re going to pay for your womanizing ways!

Sain: But--!

Lyn: Savor what little time you have. We’ll be back for you once we’ve made our decision.

Serra: Good bye, Sain!

Sain: No, wait! Ahhhh!

kWudULp.png

They leave Sain alone in the dark cell...

Ug7wDAu.pngS4zN9M8.png1HUS8PY.png

Nino: Got it!

Everyone slowly exits, while those two guard the door.

sz8hDPs.png6DJ8fyo.png

There is literally nothing we can do, Sain. The items we have are useless for escaping a cell.

7lVcyPm.png

Huh?

UhPyEFA.png

Oh, yes! We have a chance after all!

Sain: I should fetch that. Fast!

(AT LAST)END DIALOGUE

L9ymxdh.pngaPIMglx.png?158x4iAE.png

HfIkZM1.png8O8vBwv.png?1gl25bkJ.png

n83V8er.png?1eyFvHIg.png?1

So, we FINALLY get to the actual chapter! The majority of then enemies are crowded together down there in their little feminist circle. As you can probably guess, there is going to be a LOT of stuff happening this chapter. A TON, in fact. This chapter could pretty much qualify for a Ragefest submission all on it's own.

I COULD show everyone's stats, but this prelude is long enough as-is, so to prevent needing a fourth part I'll show the character stats as they become relevant.

G6M5rjF.pngXW9MD62.png

n2ZcjsS.pngIBKFfox.png

Both Nino and Florina are actually pretty tough. Good door guards. We'll have to see if we can't do something about them...

NEXT TIME!

PHEW! Finally finished with the biggest dialogue dump, but rest assured there's lots of talking to come!

sniff* this hit way too close to home

(in my early playthroughs, i always tried to ship sain off but not one woman would take him, I gave up when my sain x serra ship was sailing so smoothly...then A rank convo happened that sunk that ship to the very depths of my despair. I gave up since then, sorry sain buddy, I failed you *cries)

You might yet see him manage a successful romance...

Time to fail to get maidens in...

Maiden Quest: Episode 3: Chapter 2: Part 1: The worst security ever

1Dn806f.png

Before I do anything else, I'm going to wait to see if the ladies ever actually decide anything.

(They don't.)

rzihXNZ.png

Let's see what's in the cellar!

XTPdPcl.pngorh19Jk.pngbD5AW3f.png

Oh, what? No! WE NEED A DOOR KEY!

FPuYkob.png2T1Y9ua.png

...

Sain, no.

THIS ISN'T HOW FE WORKS.

CGTT2yz.png

No, that's not possible!

...But it's not like we have anything else to try...

jVhmKkn.png

We also get an Elixir! We most certainly DO need this!

FW7A3HO.png

Sorry guys, but I REALLY need inventory space, and this Club pass is NOT immediately useful!

d1BZEtr.pngztPPXMm.png

We get a Fancy Ale TOO? Honestly, I think Cedar knew it was okay to give us the Love Potion because we wouldn't have inventory space for it! ...Or so we had a way out if things got TOO HOT TO HANDLE.

NNbfBIG.png

There's no way this is going to work.

DFvxQCH.pngORWNGRl.png

It... It worked?

SERIOUSLY!?

lLi7XtE.png

This

This is just

SbfTwAJ.pngYo1Abo1.png

Nino: Quick, Florina! Go warn the others!! I’ll deal with Sain!

5fle8OD.pngjKglxSr.png

Florina does as she's told...

Lyn: Florina? What’s wrong?

XQrVeJ6.pngg7Xrcd8.pngh0TRaA9.png

I'm with you on this one thing, ladies.

d389Xxr.png

Fiora: Our mission is to stop Sain, and eliminate him! Lyn, Florina, Priscilla. Guard the castle entrance. Make sure he doesn’t escape! Everyone else, follow me!

K7tX20N.png

Of course you will, Farina.

UoqFm19.pngORVFqno.pngBek3ldN.png

And thus, troops disperse everywhere!

NIIw7SJ.png

Ninian: What is it, Serra?

Serra: I got a new Warp staff! Check this out!

5GRR9By.pnguRDeFMu.png3mTbboS.png

Serra whisks everyone away to a spot closer to Sain, including herself. That's hacks, Serra.

O9POKpg.png

And then more enemies arrive!

ODHsKFP.pngIg4wDc9.png

Of course they are. Why would anyone do anything else to Sain?

Servant: Though we cannot wield any weapons, we can still demoralize him with our icy stares! Does this please you, milady?

Lyn: Yes, thank you. We could use all the help we can get.

iMtKsjJ.png

Suddenly, a male returns from the drinking scene!

SPchkQR.pngn7nABfa.pngzRxGQga.png

What else would happen to Lucius around alcohol?

BcJSjTt.png

Lyn: Lucius!? You came back!

Lucius: My apologies, Lady Lyndis. The pub… everyone’s gone mad… had I stayed any longer… Blessed Elimine, I fear to think what might have ensued…

Lyn: …..

Lucius: But if I may ask… Why are your weapons drawn? Has there been an attack?

Lyn: …..

SwkoQhy.png

Lyn: ….Well. To be completely honest, Lucius, we’re disposing of Sain.

Lucius: P-Pardon?

Lyn: We women just don’t want to deal with him anymore.

89ReEEf.png2PxLKCx.png

Lyn: wouldn’t you agree?

NO LUCIUS! DON'T AGREE! HELP US!

BDaidlj.png

Dangit! This honestly doesn't make that much sense!

Wzb3Wmx.png

And so he does...

cBi1YRW.png

Now then, back to actual gameplay. There are LOTS of enemies in Sain's general vicinity, and we have to be careful!

CxKhisS.pngNsFGsGw.png

Sain: Surely-

Rebecca: You’re unbelievable! Don’t you remember that one day you gave me flowers, and said I was the sweetest girl in all Elibe?

Sain: Ah, yes, of course! I remember that day as if it were yesterday! And I meant every word I said, darling!

Rebecca: Oh, is that right? That same day, I caught you reciting poetry to Fiora… Surely you remember that as well…

Sain: Ah! I… I d-don’t recall…

k6N6Lib.pngf6dCY8S.pngLJdgpMN.png

These might be real memories! In fact, it probably references FE7 supports, along with a lot of other stuff in this hack!

And yes, EVERY SINGLE FE7 CHARACTER has a boss quote. ALL. OF. THEM.

OO7OxQR.png

Luckily, Sain isn't going down today!

cxhAaGd.pngSdM5jyP.png

Does this REALLY justify killing him?

El17MXM.png

Sain: B-But Nino, my darl—

Nino: Stop trying to sweet-talk me! I’m already taken!

Sain: What? You too!? By who!?

liNImzj.png

OW! I guess this fight is what the Fancy Ale is for...

wetckmz.png

Serra walks towards us and... triggers an event?

DE94h2D.png

Oh crap, Jaffar! Something tells me Sain's wooing won't work on him...

kQ2ACVq.png0xE801G.png

I think Sain might be right this time.

WoI0LDT.pngdkoSITk.png

Remember these tips, everybody! And yes, every single door is unlocked.

UTW8qrj.png

Now that its Player Phase, it's time to SHOW SOME STATS!

2X6pODn.pngoX89tAo.png

The generics around are all pretty tough. Sain can beat them easily, but not without taking damage.

RqxL5di.pngFKcxsDk.png

Fiora here, guarding the door, has her speed pretty much tanked to nothing, but good stats otherwise.

(But... level 6 peg with 10 strength? I call nope.)

etLf3Yd.pngUiQbQ3f.png

Serra can assist her allies with healing, and hurt Sain with an ICY GLARE!

fXlw6jF.pngrqrRfcZ.png

Ninian is ALSO buying into the new "kill Sain" philosophy, apparently!

OOwQgY7.pngzrnHy2j.png

As Sain said, we should avoid this guy.

(Come to think of it... we have enough attack to damage him...)

40Asjhd.pngukBgkvM.png

Here's the girl manning the ballista...

AeBDh8k.pngm2I8cGe.png

And here's her backup. I guess we can at least be glad she didn't get to the ballista first...

NEXT TIME: Can Sain survive all these WOMEN? Can we actually get a break from reading all this text and stats to even TRY?

Maiden Quest: Episode 3: Chapter 2: Part 2: Sain vs everyone ever

yskK6O8.png

We start with a heal! Better safe than sorry! I'll close the door to Jaffar in a minute.

tOL2Sz3.pngGsnsLau.png

It's been a minute. Probably.

3pWG9al.png

Rebecca's shot only does like 4 damage. Whew.

CahJZ0f.png

LA LA LA LA

LSmmJcf.png

I LOVE YOU LA LA LA

jctxBOv.pngP8xZ1gj.png

Huh? Jaffar?

dcDgXSQ.png

Jaffar: Nino.

Nino: Ah…You came all the way out here for me? But I thought it wasn’t safe-

Jaffar: …I promised to always remain by your side. I intend to keep that promise.

Nino: Oh…Jaffar… Thank you! I’m done here, so let’s go home!

AB4KPQE.png

And Jaffar disappears! We're all good now!

lbL8Y8a.png

Suddenly, Karla shows up! This event happens based on what turn it is, not killing Nino.

p2WBdy3.pngmOOSdBI.png

Vaida too?

8GNiS0f.pngIF1k4od.png

Vaida: Hmph! Insolent girl! You promised we’d fight after the war, but you disapeared! You know how infuriated that made me?!

Karla: Oh. I’m sorry…

Vaida: Shut up!

HJLieK4.png0QQ1Hni.pngh2IiMTy.pngd4cmN8b.png

Oh snap! EPIC DUEL!

KEAJPga.pngiVlX1YC.png

Vaida looks like she's going to win, but you never know in rigged battles.

X5omNtm.pngoZ2miiQ.png

hXGGeWV.pngJ0rpWfF.png

Vaida and Karla are SORT OF evenly matched, but as we saw from the fight earlier Vaida has the advantage. WHO WILL WIN?

nYAh0AL.png

And Vaida turns grey, despite it being Player phase! Huh.

poRw3Xn.png

Open the floodgates!

w4wDVXD.pngn4RWYz8.png

We beat up the enemies fine, but more maideservants come!

YTkPG46.png

These guys are pathetic, but they don't give a drop of XP. So, just annoying, really.

zti1hp2.png

Very nice, we need this!

HO7d98V.pngfA9W4qp.png

Sain: W-Why do you say so?

Serra: Well…Not only do you flirt with every girl you see…

ZqkXtuJ.png5XQkbqy.png

Serra: It completely clashes with my gorgeous pink hair! If we got married, Saint Elimine forbid-

aRNFSYt.png

Totally a reason not to marry.

Serra: And that’s…not going to happen! Ever!

j9M25bu.png

Of course.

Serra: Stay away from meee!

Sain: Ahhhh…

4dSa0yZ.png

Serra is mostly ineffective, but Sain's nearly dead!

(Don't worry, I heal him right back up)

F0y1KBO.png

The door mechanics work kind of oddly with Sain's canto. You can get 2 chances to close the door per turn.

dl4EPeh.png

Hah.

al7Dkgl.png

Next up...

OcHU6Mk.png

Sain: N-Never forgive me? F-For what?

Ninian: Have you so quickly forgotten? Nils told me when he traveled with you two years ago… You dragged him along everywhere you went just to draw attention from the women around you…

Sain: Ah…

Ninian: And you taught him all your womanizing ways! Sometimes, I’m afraid to

16cPSFR.png8ZI04HG.png

2 Sains can't be that bad!

ozKzSUv.pngBjNd0Lx.png

Objective: Protect innocence

Means: MURDER

Ninian: I will never forgive you for that!

Sain: Ahhhh!

cXgMk5A.png

Ninian gets WRECKED.

am1bHvu.pngcul5dn9.pngAlmfqrV.png

Another one down!

nKVN0MN.png

And the duel continues...

jVkE9Fw.png

bZC8Uk8.png

Vaida: You got lucky, wench! This time I will hit! I will stab my lance deep into your heart!

Karla: ….

oUSuvgW.pngWF2myxs.png

This time, combat goes well for Vaida!

v5XPs9u.png

Lets get some treasure!

(Wait, wasn't one of these a trap?)

3prDdxg.png

The maidservants finally reach me. They don't last long.

npWCBEA.png

But then, FIORA FLIES UP! I was NOT expecting her to move!

CtkkY9k.pngoLC9icZ.png

Sain: What have I done to deserve such cruel treatment? I…I am so confused!

Fiora: It is because your behavior is simply unacceptable! You know nothing of self-restraint… You endanger and bring shame to everyone around you… It deeply disturbs me that a fool like you could ever become a knight in the first place!

Maybe because of the combat prowess that's going to let him fight his way out a castle filled with ladies? With no weapon?

Yt6uYiK.png

BURN!

fR7CyOo.png

zZHOnva.png

*GASP*

Okay, I was expecting to die there FOR SURE. It's a MIRACLE!

l86JHbq.png

And one that lets me beat Fiora!

lN2V2wy.png2mNe9cU.png

Fiora: I am sorry…

aHHPS4X.png

And then another cavalier reduces Sain to 1 HP! Except, remember that there were TWO cavaliers, both in range of Sain!

WILL HE GET LUCKY AGAIN? WILL HE SURVIVE?

you know, as their former tactician, a lot of these women sucked compared to sain so I'm not really sure how they thought he would be easy to take down.

Even now, most of them still do suck compared to Sain. Even with the maidservants backing him up, they can't resist (running away from) his Woo.

Guys, I've added a VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION to the poll. It affects the LP a lot, you MUST ANSWER IT.

Maiden Quest: Episode 3: Chapter 2: Part 3: PERVERT!!!

Remember, last time, we were wondering if Sain would miraculously survive...

gmvCN3i.png

AND HE DOES!

Seriously, with this plus Fiora, I got INSANELY lucky this turn. Cedar gives you two options with which to beat this chapter: Solve the intricate gameplay puzzle, or get really lucky. I probably could have done the former, but the latter ended up being what happened!

4Wya4OV.png

He WILL cap Muscle at this rate!

BdeTZR4.png

Eventing shifts Isadora down. Now she's gonna charge me!

2ABie0T.png

The good news? The ballista is out!

FwuDrC3.png

Okay, lets open the chests!

sBq3da4.png

Wha-?

pE8uJKU.png

Women's... sitting... room? I thought this was just a random treasure room!

uSVwNw2.pngfIbbkOv.png

Servant: But you knew that, didn’t you?

"No, I only came to steal the valuables, I swear!"

Sain: !?!

Servant: Ahhhhhh! Help! Help!

Sain: This…

pWFYdjx.pngnk0ekd3.pngdtPdocn.png

Yeah! Why didn't the ladies dogpile the thieves when they entered in FE7? Or were the thieves sexier than Sain?

The event prevents us from opening the chest. We get Canto, then, on enemy phase...

QuyrVoI.png

SO. MANY. MAIDSERVANTS.

0PchUi4.png

The good news is, I managed to open the chest!

POlhZlq.png

The other one might contain something good, too!

WWOUdgX.png

Uh...

RsaUksY.png

UH...

OtaLzfn.png

UH.

LqpUVTn.png

WHAT.

otx4NbK.png

And then the chest produces FOUR MORE Trollface.

Yeah, you're not winning the hack like this.

W5GYEd1.png

Maidservants still easily dispatched!

sX6kypv.pngKCWdR6e.png

Isadora: You are a shame to all the knights of Lycia!

Sain: Ah… S-Shame?! B-But… I am a true knight of Caelin! I serve my land and my liege with all the passion and loyalty of my heart! Surely, I am the perfect model of a Lycian knight!

Isadora: No, Sain. You are far from it. Your conduct around women is completely unacceptable, both on and off the battlefield. You are an idiot and a scoundrel. Nothing more.

OwESaGS.pngbgzQX0E.png

Honestly, is womanizing REALLY a good reason to kill Sain?

Sain: Dame Isadora, I beg of you—

Isadora: Enough words. Come! Ready your lance if you have one. Let us spar now… For the last time!

akmczKJ.png

Isadora is tough, but she gets WRECKED by Sain's muscles. ...Wooing muscles.

rDzdwtc.pngPINxXsr.pngzkfcmb2.png

The level doesn't help much, but I guess speed is nice.

K5zGNto.png

Oh, what? Promoted enemies?

tY4OP4y.png

Hey! Isn't she from EN?

Paladin lady: I’ve always wanted to give that lout a piece of my mind. At last, that time has come! Ladies! Charge! Let us show him the true fury of the Caelin knights!

n7RGzrO.pngEnaJXyg.png

The other ones don't?

ugvxEkq.png

Okay, so, I think the intent here was for us to hide in the sitting room. However, since were so amazingly lucky quick and skilled...

KTFaU8s.png

We can escape this way, and move on with the chapter instead of having to wait 20 turns!

Now that that's done, let's look at what we just left behind...

jYh0jAG.pngOLcIn2n.pngYaGKV3s.png

Yeah. Not happening.

riTW0Ms.pngftHOgqb.png

Her generics are nothing to sniff at, either!

3SLYzdo.png8bXLDKo.png

The duel of Vaida and Karla continues!

lVPVEUz.pngcOMXTUB.png

Vaida: You’re holding back!

Karla: …..

Vaida: Grr! How dare you underestimate my power! You will suffer for this!

jMLyVRq.pngFpc9W1r.png

Karla stops holding back.

mjiTvIf.png

Now that we've opened the door, Maidservants come rushing in!

pVn1B9L.png

LOCK THIS THING

YiTg3Ya.png

This is honestly pretty intense...

A8mvA7h.pngHmhuksg.png

Hurrah! Invulnerability!

ZXO8gwt.png

Let's serenade those archers!

8NfHJUw.png

Well, I guess not Rebecca. Without the ballista, she can't do a THING.

BM0xQUL.pnghalwmdK.png

Louise: Sain… At first I thought you were merely a strange man…

nEyAwq3.pngt93kd2N.png

Okay, this is moving more and more into the realm of ludicrous.

rWklVex.png

Louise: Even if that is so… I’ve been told all the grievances you caused the other women in our army… You toy with their hearts like it’s your right… I will not let you continue to do this with impunity!

97y61Ds.png

LA LA I LIKED YOUR OUTFIT IN FE7CM

mbhpkAE.png

...What? No?

ytMQQUM.png

Sain moves down to deal with the maidservants and...

duINNkn.pngkGWlaGO.pngSeLI1F0.png

EVEN MORE MAIDSERVANTS

xpifElU.png

I don't know if this has anything to do with the "sitting room" or not, but did we REALLY need more enemies?

fpypBfb.png

They're extra-strength but not unbeatable. We don't have to restart the chapter, at least.

sTiputW.pngaOxyn1S.png

LA LA PINK IS GOOD ON YOU LA LA

hLXCmC6.pngyPmvuMT.png

Louise: I’m sorry.

SUmE2hy.png

INVADE THE ROOM

NEXT TIME: Is there another horrific trap in the chest? CAN HE ACTUALLY BEAT ALL THESE LADIES?

You mean that one generic Paladin lady in Kent's tale that always seems to survive when I play?

Yup, that's probably it.

I ship Sain with Kent, so Emily I guess. Are the troll faces still with Sain?

Nope, I had to get the trollfaces gone with my MAGIC TIME POWERS.

Maiden Quest: Episode 3: Chapter 2: Part 4: Sain drives all the women crazy

wZE471Q.png

Dangit, why are Sain's levels suddenly bad?

xIhI7GW.png

Rebecca switches to her steel bow, which can actually hurt me!

lqLDBpQ.png

A steady stream of these stupid ladies has been slowly glaring my HP down.

y2u8RZU.png

Come on, Sain! You haven't capped anything! You shouldn't be petering out on me like this!

btfOsiE.png

I finally get a chance to take out Rebecca!

SW3Thoe.png

TJ4A95h.png

And you have...

g2u3S22.png

MORE HEALING! Okay!

(Why are all the chests filled with semi-valuable wine?)

Z8SrlDm.png

Huh, I guess this myrm-wall doesn't move.

09L7j3G.png

Finally! A good level!

A8bKtIy.png

This four-wall of some of the last remaining ladies is all that's left...

xuWXVDQ.pngPnt5V8z.png

Lyn doesn't move, but her Mani Katti makes her threatening, since it has effective damage against Sain.

by5Fhhv.pngYADrL10.png

Priscilla isn't a big deal.

yTRymX1.pnglw1ZXfS.png

Lucius, our very first male enemy! (Except Jaffar, but he doesn't count!)

go9vrWr.png

ONLY ONE THING TO DO!

t5S93uo.pngKlatcFd.pngnUvWdN6.png

Its... the exact same dialogue...

Lucius: …….

Sain: Dearest angel! Your beauty captivated me from afar! But up close…Oh! It smites my very heart!

WXXVmLK.png

Sain finishes with him quickly...

GwA3NCl.png6uF3CBA.png

Sain: Ah, my dearest! Have we met? What a cad I am! To forget such a face as lovely as yours, I—

Lucius: My name is Lucius.

Vd0NUxQ.pngkOqbXGs.pngyElNEbL.png

And now, THE REALIZATION COMES CRASHING DOWN!

Sain: How did I not--?! This… This is…

rCfv9QW.pngE5bT6R0.png

This is GAME OVER.

hU2MCyD.png

Let's do Florina instead! You've already seen her stats, of course...

IFrxta0.png

Florina: Eeeek! Stay away!

Sain: B-But…Florina! I thought I didn’t scare you anymore!

Florina: T-That’s…not t-true… I…I just…c-couldn’t get away… Y-You keep c-cornering me…and s-smiling… like that… I…I could…n-never get any peace…k-knowing you were…

EeUyypc.pngAuMSvCL.pngRSSDQla.png

Not sure what to say about the dialogue, but Sain wrecked her so badly I forgot to screenshot it!

IZRFVAF.pngV2eUJmU.png

Meanwhile...

agEqoLe.pnghonY1WS.png

Paladin lady: Blast! Killing scum isn’t worth this much trouble. I’m leaving. Ladies, retreat!

pppUxqr.png

And then they die! If we had hidden up there, we would be actually starting the second part of the chapter now!

Now, for Sain to engage the one behind all this: LYN!

JURu1MO.png

Sain: Have I ever failed in my duties to you? Surely, I have remained a trustworthy knight!

Lyn: Yes…I cannot deny your worth as a knight. However, your obsession with ladies has always been an embarrassment to me.

Sain: Ahhhhh… But—

Lyn: As the wind blows one way and then the other, so you are with women. You must be the most fickle man I’ve ever met.

iASAoqB.png

...

...T-t-t-t..

...TYPO...

ENTIRE.

HACK.

RUINED.

DGH8p2l.png8E4oxDn.png

QckwzvU.png

SO MUCH GREEN. But why is Sain getting hurt if the green is everywhere BUT his person?

H993iIE.png

Anyways, we eventually win!

KSgJhJH.pnga1SkMOr.png

For now?

Lyn: But by Mother Earth and Father Sky, I will be back, Sain. And it will be my blade that strikes you down! I swear it.

SNZj3qM.png

And then, because I underestimated a myrm's range, Sain actually dies! This is the first death this chapter! I was SO CLOSE to not having any unintentional deaths!

bma9Hh1.pngIrblqqL.pngVY8AYA0.png

Game Over because prophecy violation.

4ihJDdb.png

His death apparently made him charming!

B64RmzV.png

Farina flies over from the treasure room to engage!

DTHT98l.pngVd07HnS.png

Sain: No, please! Spare me, lovely Farina! I’ll do anything!

Farina: Anything, huh?

Ba1BtOT.png

...Is 20k gold your price for EVERYTHING?

DIsINgV.pngr4gEkym.png

Sheesh!

Sain: Ah!

VZ1Bets.png

Phew, I guess...

Zmsvqhe.pngaKlMDlG.png

Farina is actually one of the most powerful enemies on the map! Wow!

NEXT TIME: Can Moniker finish off the pegasus trio? DOES THIS CHAPTER ACTUALLY HAVE AN END?

wait, second part? what would that have been?

I just meant getting past the door into the next portion of the map. Probably should have worded it differently.

Time to (hopefully) finish (trying) to get maidens in...

Maiden Quest: Episode 3: Chapter 2: Part 5: Finishing everything up

FBnaZg9.png

Let's just run past Farina and get the treasure! That'll make her angry!

bKvY1yb.png

I guess opening the door triggered the next reinforcement wave.

We beat Farina!

HcRVS6l.png6OUWy93.png

See you later!

j8cQ2ug.png

Before I loot the chests, I have to finish with this lady!

xpt92wy.png3f9tLOo.png

Sain MISSES, twice, giving Lyn the opportunity to switch to the Mani Katti and wreck him!

MtwIp1Z.png

And this doesn't help either!

6GdfQ06.png

FINALLY! THANK YOU!

We already saw her death quote that time we died, so...

WCM5CTZ.png

DIE! And once she's done, we still have the problem of how to get rid of Lucius...

BkH3IgF.png6KJb8Df.png

Priscilla: I-I’m sorry Sain… But I must… Your actions have scarred the hearts of innocents… I have…no choice but to oppose you. I’m sorry…

SrggQ5q.png

She opposes him, and dies goes insane.

ztB5iEl.pngYF9GCKL.png

Priscilla: Where… are you?

8QNtNRJ.png

Almost capped those muscles out...

vRF408k.png

Oh, good! Looks like this is going to remove Lucius too!

Lucius: You look quite flustered.

Priscilla: Lucius…I’m sorry. I cannot remain here any longer. Would you take me to Lord Erk and my brother? I wish to be by their sides.

Lucius: ….Oh. But Priscilla, they—

Priscilla: I care not where they are. Please…take me to them…

qMu5rgL.png

Poor guy... he has to go back to the "drunken hell"...

Lucius: Very well, milady. Follow me.

APzUy6M.pngMHFJtGj.png

You're the only two left! Remember, these are the most powerful enemies on the map, but their duel has made them weak and beatable!

...

Oh, right, the chests!

QTuL9ZV.png

Oh yes! Hanging onto this!

tjXyYqb.png

I really like how Cedar gives us more than enough healing, to help with any RNG screwage.

ddZmBSj.png

You were useless! Goodbye!

SKO2490.png2E2qTGB.png

Remember, these two didn't join in the other girls "murder Sain" campaign!

5J0BOEq.pngAt0LHN4.png

Welp. That changed fast.

Gd3u4eY.png

Apparently, Vaida's anger can bring pegasi into existence!

VCHejqi.png

Vaida: Grrah! It’s YOU! How dare you interrupt our duel! Craven fool! Now you’ll pay! I’ll skewer my lance through your head, and feed your bloody scraps to Umbriel!

Sain: Ahhhh!

IOBGs8s.png

Vaida is tough...

B4ab49P.png

But Sain's BUFF MUSCLES do more than enough damage!

(I should have mentioned this earlier, but if you didn't figure it out, Woo hits resistance while using the strength equivalent.)

yxtJ20y.pngq1p7CMP.pngcVELr8h.png

I'm not sad to see you go!

YcZ4yhW.png

FINAL OPPONENT!

Sain: You look even more dazzling than when I last saw you!

Karla: Hm?

Sain: The way you stand there so gallantly in the midday light… Why, you have the graceful bearings of a true princess!

Karla: …I’m sorry, knight. But…what was your name, again?

l19u229.png

Sain: Sain, brave knight of Caelin!

Karla: I see…

Sain: Oh lovely Karla… Might I ask you a question? Pray, answer me truly!

Karla: Yes. What is it?

PVjFLfX.png

Oh. Oh wow. Wasn't expecting that question!

9YY2TbT.png

Okay, hopefully Sain will just lea-

3gXtadk.png

Sain: Methinks a lovely princess like yourself should marry someone… more worthy of your affection.

tJ6fBcD.png

Sain, you're RAPIDLY losing likeability points!

Karla: Sain…I’m sorry. But Bartre is a better man than you could ever be.

Sain: Whaaa!?! Karla, surely you jest!

Karla: I do not. I will defend the honor of my future husband… Prepare yourself, Sain.

1HtzQib.png

Karla is tough, but her crits are disabled!

BHY2vWs.png

Despite a few holdups, we eventually win!

V8QVOe7.pngtoFnbW0.pngc7Q22LX.png

And with the last level of the chapter, he MAXIMIZES his Wooing strength!

...Wait, how does that even work? Do his muscles just grow bigger, adding sexiness to assist the wooing?

9OzNWKz.png

I clean up those pegs from earlier, and...

cMDhUxB.png

W-we're done? Are we really done? After all these days of playing just this one chapter, are we FINALLY done?

NEXT TIME: Another super-wordy conclusion... but at least I'll be able to fit it all into one update!

I miss for a few days and this happens. BEAUTIFUL.

It must be a nice thing to come back to!

Okay guys, the poll is wrapped up, and it appears that Sain is being shipped with Emily. Thank you for your contributions!

cMDhUxB.png

Sain's sitting all alone having Woo'd everyone into insanity. No ladies left for him...

vPbnqWD.png

I don't either! This doesn't make that much sense!

RxzgwSP.png

Suddenly, Lyn comes, and she's got her Blade Lord outfit!

RJCuxXv.png

Lyn: Hello, Sain. I’m back…to put an end to you and your skirt-chasing. Once and for all!

ocfItAS.png

No! YOU CAN DO IT SAIN! YOU AND YOUR RANDOMLY REDUCED STATS CAN SOMEHOW LIVE!

uoH0Sy4.png

Crit! IS THE LP OVER?

gu9Vu2z.png

Nope, plot armor.

mY6Dova.pngccxcQmF.png

When suddenly...

dxcMcWB.png

It wasn't plot armor after all!

pmGqTdr.png

Sain: Ah! Lady Lyndis! Please! Have mercy!! SPARE MEEEEEE!

UqZzLVz.pngU2ykNYs.pngGVizndH.png

Sain: Oh…whew…

liQU7nd.pngUWNeH5Z.pngsdbngGf.png

Yup, that's right guys.

This entire, around-600-images update?

All. Just. A. Dream.

*eye twitches*

R0zYOOJ.png2MK0mbU.png

And no more Sain socalization will occur.

Sain: Oh…

OWo20Ir.png

Sain: Ulp…K-Kent!

Kent: …. My apologies, Lady Lyndis… But might Sain and I have a word in private?

mx84VvV.png

Kent: Thank you, milady.

HOo4osJ.pngt5I80jC.pngGgJlQbz.png

And now, Kent has more harsh words!

eZwuG9i.png

Kent: I told you to restrain yourself, did I not?

juBWeDA.png3y46plF.png

Sain knows he's done bad now... though I guess I can understand his desperation.

Kent: In the future, at least try to control yourself! You are a disgrace to the knights of Caelin!

INvtBJV.pngu7L7bw3.png

And that's all...

What's going to happen next? Where will Sain find more ladies to woo?

oOaLAQo.png

CUT TO NEXT PLOT POINT!

edYoBud.pngKekx3VR.png4xoI6ZS.png

We see this Darec guy being lectured by this other guy!

Dude: You want to go there? Of all place, man… Have you lost your mind?!

Darec: But the stone--!

Dude: I’m sorry. I may be a treasure hunter like you, but I’m no fool. To accompany you there would be suicide!

Darec: Bah!

30vJBkv.png

He does look old... something tells me he shouldn't be heading for the MOUNT OF ULTIMATE DOOM!

AZMqUld.pnglf7boUj.png

Darec heads into a fort...

6WLODK0.pngWEsXt87.png

Huh? A mysterious past?

VYSbB3r.png

Darec: … … … …

4WFx6fj.png

And Sain comes wandering along... You can probably already see what's gonna happen.

Yau6nsJ.pngilI4Z2s.pngPwg7Jli.pngdyEZRMI.png

No more doubts!?

Xwmgq47.png

Sain: I have nothing to worry about! I’ll find my own darling wife, someday! B-But…

Q97fKbs.pngmR7n4rN.png

I think you've struck the actual problem, Sain.

Sain: Oh, I’ll never get married at this rate…

It's sad...

NhA7Zm6.pngbCGRpAp.pngBrCMZ2Q.png

Looks like the two are about to meet.

vUlM4tV.png

Sain: Gaah! W-Who—

Darec: Having trouble finding a girl, eh?

Sain: W-Whoah… How did you know?

Darec: It was pretty obvious from your yelling… Do you always talk so loudly to yourself?

Sain: I—

Darec: Ah, bother. You’re just lucky I overheard you!

Sain: L-Lucky? If anything, I’d say this is rather embarrassing!

Darec: Do you want a girl or not? ‘Cuz if you do, I could help ya!

Sain: Err…

Darec: Don’t give me that look!

WonmWTU.pngyDR041z.png

Is that REALLY true?

PCnNI8H.png

Sain: Ah, really!? Good sir, pray tell me! I’ll do anything! Anything!

wBFX4Ys.png

It's true!

DzhFx98.pngjMRsU32.pngOAQ8v4A.png

But-

Sain: And I say, the pursuit of love is no less important! I would face a thousand deaths for its cause, nay—a thousand thousands!

-Of course.

Darec: Hm, good. I like that spirit! Now… if you truly want to win a girl’s heart…

g0VAFej.png

And...

q95zMyl.png

MYSTICAL QUEST TIME! With old dude guest-starring!

Sain: A… quest?

Darec: To find a VERY special treasure!

Sain: Treasure?

Darec: Aye! I’m a treasure hunter, see. I’ve been traveling all my life, scouring the land for Elibe’s rarest gems!

TabN6O0.pngjXRbcIi.png

Does anyone recognize this name, or is it totally original?

Sain: The stone of Zagaren?

Darec: The Stone of Zagaren! An enormous purple gem, shaped like the East Star… A gem so lovely in appearance,

oNobskk.png

Well, that would wrap up the plot fast, assuming the moral implications were ignored!

Sain: Ahhh. How interesting!

Darec: It gets better!

ZugILit.pngXc3GilG.pngyeqDkP9.pnghB5C0En.pngyYaTPOv.png

So, the only thing guarding it is evil ancient super powerful spirits, which can't POSSIBLY exist! So that means no guard at all! Totally makes sense!

wWVxcgH.png

Sain: Err… I suppose… It certainly sounds dangerous!

Darec: Dangerous? Bah! “Challenging” is the word! Nothing like a good old challenge to fire up the blood! Heck, the only thing keeping us from that cave now is… well… I need backup.

Sain: You don’t mean…

9hCLVwr.pngo81hBIK.png

Darec: I could really use the strength of a knight like you!

Sain: Uh—

Darec: And! If we find the gem, she’s all yours!

Wait, really?

Sain: W-What!?

Darec: That’s right! If you accompany me, you could get your hands on one of the RAREST gems in Elibe! Now there’s something that’s bound to impress your girl, eh?

Sain: Y-Yes, of course… But what of you? Don’t you want-

Darec: The stone? Hah!

tDRjOXO.png

...I don't trust this guy.

wOxGOBp.png

Darec: Besides, we—I… It’s been my lifelong dream to find this stone. So please… Will you aid me in my quest?

kkUmuDt.pngq46YiyF.pngFQcyGiy.png

Was there ever an option to NOT go, Sain? I don't think there was.

Darec: Excellent!

DSqsPv7.png

Corundum?

RGdLOt7.pnguFlWclV.png

D7K9wnS.png

And with that, the chapter is FINALLY done!

NEXT TIME; The army of ghosts doesn't exist, right? RIGHT!?
