    Ahahah... well, at risk of sounding cruel, I'm glad I'm not the only one this happens to.

    Yeah, whose definition of "too long after posting" is 5 seconds?! Icthyosaur...

    Well, at any rate, I think I like him better. He has a personality, see. Can we keep him instead of the real deal?

    I doubt either of them will get much use on this playthrough. The only swordmaster we need is MYM-RYAN-DON!

    My, Caeda is looking a lot different these days. A lot more singular, if you know what I'm saying.

    UzzCQAU.png: I mean, they are pretty similar. Both blue-haired pegasus knights with names beginning with C, both in love with Marth...

    bDfHZIy.png: And if she even thinks of making a move on him...

    UzzCQAU.png: Caeda, why are you stroking your lance?

    Quote

    Frey! Frey's one of my favourite Archaneans. I do feel, however, that his appearance here undermines his actions in FE11. Still, can't complain about having him in my favourite game of the series.

    Sadly, Caeda more or less outclasses him in every way, and even if not for her, he has to compete with Roderick, Cecille, Matthis...ah, the curse of having the biggest playable roster in any Fire Emblem game...

    I will defend that Dice is better to the death. Viking hat and mustache >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> bandana guy with bases. Also his daughter is too hot.

    I have to admit, he is pretty cool. Plus, having a viking party member means I can make more Veggietales references.

    The same person who decided that Hunters should be straight upgrades to them. Seriously, there's no reason to train Archers if you've got the merged reclass sets. All Archers get over Hunters is a couple points of defense, completely useless for what their class is.

    Then again, the Archer classline is redeemed in this game due to Sniper being absolutely brutal. High stats and high weapon ranks ensure you can pretty much make anyone a Sniper and they'll function in a pinch, and Sniper has a ton more movement than Archer (a whole 2 more points). Parthia being the earliest regalia in both games only helps their case.

    I prefer Cancer, myself. No joke, 2 defense can be quite useful.

    It probably isn't best on Gordin, though.

    On that note, please make sure to kill Lang with Arran. It's canon that he kills Lang and gets his starshard.

    Sorry...

    Don't apologize, this is hilarious.

    Battle, Part 2:

    Spoiler

    The door is opened, and...

    AA9xc2e.png

    Oh...well.

    The bad news is, since Caeda opened the door, she can't recruit Samto.

    The good news is, Caeda's a beast, so he can't kill her.

    The bad news is, Caeda's a beast, so she'll kill him.

    VTvyxXK.png

    S85ADuP.png

    The good news is, Catria's medium level of beastness means she can survive Samto without killing him, as long as she doesn't use Camus' Pike.

    XoPilM9.png

    7JKnxWU.png

    3hDMGhT.png

    The bad news is, she crit.

    UzzCQAU.png: Well...plesiosaur.

    UzzCQAU.png: I really wanted that Killing Edge.

    6Q7JXAJ.png

    At least we get Aquarius! Linde (of course) takes it.

    XJar9ge.png

    lBoucbJ.jpg: Uh, Catria?

    QbtkZwr.png: Yes?

    lBoucbJ.jpg: I'm not sure you should have killed him.

    QbtkZwr.png: Why not? He was an enemy, after all.

    lBoucbJ.jpg: Well...he had a face, so...

    QbtkZwr.png: Luke? Are you saying you're a Facelessist?

    lBoucbJ.jpg: ...a what, now?

    QbtkZwr.png: A facelessist. A despicable person who discriminates against those without faces. You think that just because that man had a face and the other enemies didn't,

    QbtkZwr.png: he might be willing to defect? What a double standard. Me? I kill all my opponents; it doesn't matter if they have a face or not.

    lBoucbJ.jpg: ...

    pnD8fzR.png

    Everyone moves up, and Caeda stands in range of the Knight with her Wing Spear.

    gdsVxuh.png

    Luke gets another Healing level. That's not-

    lBoucbJ.jpg: I told you, I'm due!

    UzzCQAU.png: You have a 65% chance of being due. Not the same thing.

    K7e6sZQ.png

    bDfHZIy.png: ...they aren't moving.

    LwyESOd.png

    OK, let's try Linde. They won't see her HP drain effect; just the high amount they'll deal.

    NrDncDQ.png

    t3hlX1W.png: Nope. Still not moving.

    lBoucbJ.jpg: It's OK! We can use my Rescue staff!

    mxLFpqE.png

    Caeda kills a Knight...

    mxoQmVs.png

    She even dodges. Nice!

    tAgVIfp.png

    3taJitf.png

    ...and Luke rescues her into (relatively) safe territory.

    8C3SbBi.png

    Oh...I didn't notice he had a Javelin. I was hoping I could counterkill him.

    M95582K.png

    rtOBO5W.png

    When it comes back to us, Caeda destroys the easternmost Knight., while Linde does the same with the westernmost.

    tbyqPds.png

    rmhL4ob.png

    Catria defeats one of the Bishops, gaining a pretty good level.

    uBfR4wd.png

    Now...

    UzzCQAU.png: ...

    UzzCQAU.png: ...Iguanadon.

    t3hlX1W.png: What's wrong?

    UzzCQAU.png: I...may have strategized myself into a corner here.

    UzzCQAU.png: This isn't a favorable scenario. I have a plan that might work, but...

    UzzCQAU.png: ...Frey might die.

    bi2pprw.png: ...really?

    UzzCQAU.png: OK, here's the breakdown:

    kVdyc7J.png

    Luke can survive one attack from any source.

    yCOBXCe.png

    As can Catria.

    QGdAr92.png

    Caeda can survive both Knights or the Bishop.

    2CCF7wM.png

    Frey and Ogma can both survive one attack from any source.

    Bottom line is, both Knights need to die.

    yw66ZUO.png

    The plan: Ogma kills this Knight, and Luke heals him.

    HEll9DS.png

    Frey attacks this Knight, since no one else can reach him. If he crits, the knight dies, and Caeda and Catria are safe. If he crits on the first attack or dodges the counterattack, he lives.

    uor6YGN.png

    H14NfT0.png

    Barst and Ryan move into these spaces to protect Linde.

    UzzCQAU.png: All in all, it's a terrible plan. There are so many things that can go wrong...but I can't think of anything better.

    UzzCQAU.png: Of course, even in the worst-case scenario...Frey is probably our only casualty. The question is...are you willing to do it?

    bi2pprw.png: ...I once sacrificed myself for my country and Prince. I'm willing to do it again.

    UzzCQAU.png: Thank you.

    UzzCQAU.png: Wait, if you sacrificed yourself, how are you-

    bi2pprw.png: Long story. I may tell you, someday...presuming I make it out of here.

    zfMwdQX.png

    We give the order...

    5XUdAdQ.png

    HE DODGES.

    HE DODGES.

    ZzmQ7rs.png

    Still, no crit...he, Caeda, and Catria are still in danger...

    9Nhg2XY.png

    DSRQRO4.png

    All according to plan...all according to plan...

    cohCCga.png

    All according to plan...

    MzPH5c5.png

    Alllllllll according to plan...

    OH NO OH NO IT'S THE ENEMY'S TURN THAT BISHOP WILL KILL US ALL

    HRH6PXW.png

    He...

    He healed.

    He healed the Knight.

    He's the most dangerous enemy here, and he healed the knight.

    He healed the Knight.

    HE HEALED THE KNIGHT!

    THANK YOU STUPIDITY OF FIRE EMBLEM AI!!

    pSwUWZr.png

    SMACK RYAN ALL YOU WANT, YOU CAN'T KILL HIM!!

    5Xkx2E3.png

    YOU ONLY MAKE THE MYM-RYAN-DON STRONGER!

    AONJ3gU.png

    BARST, HAVE A KILL.

    fRtKk7R.png

    IT'S TWO STATS, BUT ONE IS SKILL, SO IT'S OK.

    I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW.

    QrgrNb8.png

    TAKE THIS YOU T-REX! YOU PTEROSAUR! YOU TRICERATOPS!

    9iIf6az.png

    YOU FRUMIOUS BANDERSNATCH!!

    olbteVq.png

    WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS LUCK?!

    If this is an apology for that one HP Castor level, you're overcompensating. Not complaining, but still.

    klhFqZh.png

    Phew...so...Caeda draws out the Mage.

    XBmQ6MQ.png

    She dodges, to boot.

    L8kHhix.png

    Now, she could easily one-round Lang, but we have other units more deserving of the experience.

    UOSv5PJ.png

    Like Linde, for example.

    AHPFP3c.png

    UzzCQAU.png: ...

    lBoucbJ.jpg: Haha! See? See!?

    mVrgf2A.png

    Lang is whittled down, first by Catria...

    xJAQAPR.png

    Ah, playing the Guile card, I see.

    uhnSgwu.png

    bmKM0h8.png

    At least he offers a fairly plausible excuse.

    aeJxE4c.png

    L36e8dk.png

    I imagine he's pretending to put down his weapon, and expecting Catria to do the same. They could have made it clearer, though.

    w5ztpEf.png

    I also think it would have worked better if he said something like, "You're not falling for this, are you?"

    Y7elSwC.png

    He misses. Pathetic.

    hi5WkgZ.png

    As I was saying, Lang is whittled down, first by Catria, next by James...

    EWZdhsy.png

    Magic! Speed!

    kNAi2z5.png

    ...and Linde snatches the kill.

    HnwPKuH.png

    L5ZFmjq.png

    ABo7Mky.png

    More speed!

    BzvZ8bc.png

    Yay! Cancer!

    9cpEhqA.png

    ilEe1n9.png: Everyone, I'm here! Now, we'll strike down Lang, together-

    ilEe1n9.png: ...where's Lang?

    bDfHZIy.png: Oh, we took care of him already.

    ilEe1n9.png: That was...quick.

    bDfHZIy.png: Yes, his knight lackeys were more of a threat than he was.

    bDfHZIy.png: Frey almost died.

    UzzCQAU.png: I'd...rather not talk about that.

    Gnu6YIm.png

    Seized!

    Quote

    I don't think anyone really says that

    I've seen a few people claim that, because the enemy army is no longer 90% Knights and Cavaliers, she's not nearly as good as in SD. Though, honestly, that just downgrades her from SUPER BROKEN to Top Tier.

    22 hours ago, Eltosian Kadath said:

    My Myrmidon/Sword Master FMU is kicking Anklyosari in a Maniac run of this game, so don't be dissing that class too much before you try it.

    I meant that Mymridons are a generally poor choice to go up against Knights and Generals. Their low strength and weapon disadvantage means that they're often unable to even damage them, and they take a beating in return. Armorslayers do help, though-especially in a game without weight like this one.

    Quote

    A lot of character class combinations have no magic growth at all, even in this game...

    By way of explanation.

    4YH9M77.png

    Our team for today. I'd bring Bord for Hammer, but he can't even double the Knights, so I'll take my chances with Barst.

    Tvc7RJx.png

    god5XQZ.png

    Oh, ambush spawns. Better watch out for those.

    36Mll3O.png

    Qzlg3rc.png

    Guys, I'm not sure that's Navarre.

    RcgLeFG.png

    Guys I'm not sure that's Navarre.

    5P1WwQz.png

    First turn positions: Marth and Caeda prepare to take on the knights with their effective weapons.

    tgBspda.png

    Caeda drinks a Pure Water, grabs a Javelin, and prepares to fight the Mages.

    w6dGoA1.png

    cZQSVQD.png

    Everyone else move in formation.

    TGe3BFg.png

    GCqFNfc.png

    The Altean Royalty takes care of the knights without too much difficulty.

    uvdqgNX.png

    Catria does pretty good as well, dodging the Elfire.

    FInk7kP.png

    She even gets a good level out of it.

    spyF4Np.png

    Oh...so much for spawn-blocking.

    h8EHmpC.png

    Linde kills the Javelin Knight, dodging the counter, to boot.

    rq7aLmd.png

    Caeda gets healed so that she can kill the Mage without dying, which she does.

    ul2NZIc.png

    Now, time for my super-strategic maneuver. James attacks this Mage from 1 range...

    slOsQ17.png

    Oh...he crit.

    Well, the only difference between this and my original plan is that Gordin doesn't get the kill.

    PBXCOTV.png

    Marth kills the final Knight, getting another unnecessary critical.

    KQsetpy.png

    Oh, nevermind. The reinforcements were for us. Good thing we didn't spawn-block them.

    fIVT7Qy.png

    There are still enemy ambush-ers, though. we best be wary.

    eHujz2c.png

    Caeda reaches the northeast corner of the map, and starts on the Psychic Bishop. Why not kill the Swarm one, you ask? Because this guy can heal as much damage as I can deal, and I'd rather deal with these guys sooner, rather than later.

    fvqyCB7.png

    Marth gets a Heal...

    eNYOvyF.png

    Catria gets a Secret Book (which is going to Barst. No questions asked.)

    3o9JyrX.png

    ...and everyone turtles up against the wall, in fear of the ensuing reinforcement.

    jCqIBKO.png

    That's...less intimidating than I expected.

    mocxM04.png

    Barst, of course, is the one to take on the puny soldier.

    DmbQ4B3.png

    Everyone else regroups, as well.

    slSk1Yt.png

    uPhND8r.png

    ...he misses. This is why you need Skill, Barst.

    5aKdKSW.png

    Loathe as I am to do it, it's all hands on deck here, and Norne is forced to get a kill.

    Ee6dGKA.png

    Ogma slays an armor...

    evjYGc3.png

    Frey, being the only one who can, attacks the southernmost soldier, sadly failing to crit.

    1uvzrB4.png

    Caeda kills the other soldier...

    gOBD7lZ.png

    (Getting a great level. Hey, Gordin, she's matched you!)

    sma0e3A.png

    DxSV30b.png

    ...while Ryan and Castor tag-team the Archer.

    Ylcjskd.png

    WZMWjRA.png

    Gordin assists Barst in getting the kill. Despite his great bases, he only starts at level 5, which compounds with his good growths to make him one of the best Axers in the game.

    RJZhqhg.png

    See?

    Cl3JwlT.png

    Catria finishes off the Swarm Bishop, getting a good level...

    W3EcKSn.png

    ...and a door key.

    1tCi90l.png

    Marth finally makes it to the chests, grabbing a Barrier staff.

    TcjtXQK.png'

    eoRAG0S.png

    Linde takes a hit, but that's what Nosferatu's for.

    Rn6MGr9.png

    Speed! Hoorah!

    nWSFDAX.png

    ...then, the ambush comes in. Frey takes a pretty bad hit.

    eEbJCKr.png

    Come on, if you're going to get lucky, can you dodge the attack that does more than 2 damage?

    i7LKGuF.png

    Oh no, oh no, oh no-

    gMbjRCV.png

    ...He couldn't reach him.

    I don't know who decided Archers should have a movement speed as slow as Knights, but whoever it was just saved Frey's life.

    OWx8rj2.png

    Caeda gets a quick heal from Lukey-boy.

    CHKoB4N.png

    That's not magic.

    lBoucbJ.jpg: It's OK, James. I'm due.

    UzzCQAU.png: ...what do you mean, you're due?

    lBoucbJ.jpg: You said I have a 10% chance of getting better at Magic each time I level up, right?

    UzzCQAU.png: Yesssssss.

    lBoucbJ.jpg: Once I hit level 11, I'll have leveled up ten times. Mathematically, I'm likely to gain Magic at least once by then.

    UzzCQAU.png: That's...not how statistics works.

    ilEe1n9.png: No, actually. It's true that real-life statistics like in sports don't function that way, but in a pure mathematical vacuum like this, it does. The chance of Luke failing to gain 

    ilEe1n9.pngMagic in one level is 90%, or 0.9. The chance if he gets two levels is 0.9 x 0.9, or 0.9^2, or 0.81. For three levels,  0.9 x 0.9 x 0.9, or 0.9^3, or 0.729, etc.

    ilEe1n9.png: 0.9^10 is, rounded up, 0.35. So the chances of him not gaining Magic by level 11 are 35%, so the chances that he does are, on average, 65%.

    ilEe1n9.png: Not quite "due"-but still fairly likely.

    lBoucbJ.jpg: HA! See?

    UzzCQAU.png: ...you just broke the 4th wall. Massively.

    ilEe1n9.png: Did I, now?

    TNx845k.png

    With that discussion out of the way, Caeda brutally kills the Archer who came far too close to killing Frey.

    WwChEM3.png

    James picks off the Knight...

    zwe9bgE.png

    ...and Barst kills the Soldier.

    3GQVAI1.png

    z7zpadp.png

    This is our defensive formation for the last wave of reinforcements.

    ZZBxPsB.png

    Oh, and Marth nabs an underrated Awakening character.

    J0NsMt1.png

    It shall be Gordin's, and Gordin's alone.

    u5BE5pk.png

    MN1EvWA.png

    Ryan had a close call, here, but he survived because the FE AI is really stupid.

    dLY4vzk.png

    He even gets doubled! Why?

    Oh well. I'm not complaining.

    lqg9xXK.png

    Castor picks off the Archer.

    T1HQZxL.png

    ...Maybe I will use Roger.

    NNchKkE.png

    James also finishes off the Knight. I don't know about you, but it's always so satisfying when an attack has juust enough damage to one-shot.

    ThosEpP.png

    If you're wondering what I'm doing here, I'm making sure the Archeaneans are out of reinforcements. I'd rather be alive than fast.

    Me, 2017: What does LTC stand for?

    No, I really asked that. Ruben will attest.

    XEmsQUF.png

    People cautiously move up...

    GDfWhi4.png

    Marth continues looting.

    oXLLhTN.png

    Oh...hey. Cool. To those of you who complain how drab and dreary the DS games are...

    UzzCQAU.pngADJUST THE MAP BRIGHTNESS YOU PLEBIANS!!

    Now...what terrors lie on the other side of this door?

    According to her, after empire took over her house, they sent mages (TWSITD) to force experiment on her family, killing all her siblings.

    I doubt she will really sided with empire with such background.

     

    The way I see it, she’s not fighting for the empire so much as she’s fighting for Edelgard and what she wants: an end to crests and crest-driven society.

    @Tenzen12, why those three?

  4. You know how at the end of chapter 11 Black Eagles, you make the choice to side with Rhea and the church, or Edelgard and the empire? Normally (with a few exceptions) your students follow whichever path you do...but what if hey didn't?

    What if the class was split between loyalty to their leader and loyalty to their teacher? Which side would each student pick?

    In my mind, Marianna and Lysythia (cross-house recruitment) would side with Edelgard, because the crests are to blame, etc. Dorothea would also be on her side, seeing as I ship them very strongly.

    Linhardt would never side with Edelgard in this instance, as would Caspar.

    I'll probably make a fanfic of this at some point.

    Probably because they don't have to deal with ratings, controversy, public image, censorship and terrible executives.

    Ey5MKH7.png

    Last time, Castor got 'spated by the boss.

    8aXBZ4m.png

    The Stonehoist targets Linde instead, but thankfully, he misses.

    B5Qo3J5.png

    The knights have been drawn out! Mission successful!

    MccTWyH.png

    Arran has also managed to bring the Dracoknight right into the middle of our army.

    yeSJx1T.png

    He is duly killed.

    2Q9aLmM.png

    Speed! Beautiful Speed!

    SZm363L.png

    As for the Cavalier, Marth weakens him...

    4fxb4s9.png

    ...wow.

    gpkRRA6.png

    ...so that Matthis can get the kill. As usual.

    MVq2smy.png

    As for the knights, Linde Auras the first in the row.

    BBi0C8Z.png

    That's a good level!

    PcAyzBS.png

    Castor walks forward a step and takes a vulnerary. The Javelin Knight can't hurt him, and the AI is too dumb to move him out of the way so that the Steel Lance can attack, so the only source of danger for him is the Ballistas.

    ysND6M5.png

    ncvBSBD.png

    Luke takes Marth's advice and looks in the convoy. Heals galor!

    Ooh, looks like Marth has a conga line going on!

    ilEe1n9.png: We have no such thing.

    2pmXNs4.png

    Castor gets 'spated again. Things aren't looking so hot for him...

    Hey...what if we retreated? Then, we could fight the Knights on our own terms, without worrying about the Ballistas?

    JUZ93a8.jpg: Technically, the plural is Ballistae.

    UzzCQAU.png: Is it, though?

    IFwEDAi.png

    Here we are!

    3y09sGi.png

    Barst also gets in range of Dracoknight number 2.

    WMIiQmF.png

    Castor, sadly, fails to dodge the Stonehoist, but the damage isn't too significant. The JavKnight can't hurt him, the SteelKnight can't kill him, and he's out of range of the boss.

    qYJHi12.png

    Exactly as planned.

    aQAqPGO.png

    This happens, as well.

    1Ev2xrO.png

    This too. He can't double, unfortunately.

    IfKs6Wd.png

    Meanwhile, at the southern isle, Linde kills the SteelKnight and simultaneously heals her damage from the Stonehoist.

    cZImyHb.png

    Catria kills the JavKnight...

    vDKR5nX.png

    ...with a lucky crit preventing her from taking a counterattack. It's official; criticals are the new Cancel.

    pY9Qetf.png

    Caeda sits in this fort and prepares to unleash my master plan...

    UzzCQAU.png: MWAHAHAHAHA!

    7ImyDWc.png

    Oh, and Gordin gets a kill.

    0IWFRZy.png

    Since Dracoknight #3 has an axe, Ogma will be our baiter today.

    lYaSvoP.png

    Caeda dodges the Stonehoist. I love it when a plan comes together...

    EsRDsyw.png

    Unfortunately, Ogma neither doubles nor dodges. Still fine, though.

    f0l6fJq.png

    Now, time for my master plan! Caeda rushes in-

    Um...she's in range of the Arrowspate.

    Never mind that! She can take an attack, then ride into the blind spot, where nothing can attack her-

    M53Fetl.png

    ...never mind.

    OK, new plan: literally that plan, but Marth's Team kills the cavs first.

    tWooiVC.png

    Ea0juuo.png

    Speaking of Marth's team, this set of circumstances is giving me a curious case of deja vu.

    UzzCQAU.png: ...I'm gonna sing the song.

    lBoucbJ.jpg: Please don't.

    UzzCQAU.pngDEJA VU! I HAVE BEEN IN THIS PLACE BEFORE!

    UzzCQAU.pngI don't know the rest.

    yT1cRdF.png

    Yes please gimme gimme Hammerne

    AylpQGG.png

    9NHf8tf.png

    Ogma weakens the thief, getting an OK level...

    tngabaG.png

    ph7bylz.png

    ...and Gordin picks him off, also getting an OK level. Of course, he now has the highest Strength of anyone in the army...

    wQvoE6R.png

    Marth grabs his Rapier, a vulnerary, and faces the Cavaliers head on.

    iLMF4tR.png

    It goes well.

    CwJ08aM.png

    RaSITv6.png

    UVyxToN.png

    The classic Gord-Matt combo strikes again, getting the latter half a decent level.

    f7rORhB.png

    Arran swoops into action, weakening a Cav and pushing himself over the exp threshold.

    lCqUnrq.png

    ...

    u3In59Z.png

    hIxB4p3.png

    Barst finishes him off, and Marth starts working on the final one.

    VnfDCX3.png

    Y5k3pZl.png

    Luke gets a healing level. That's not magic.

    uvtVDQ7.png

    Ltz5w9q.png

    Gord-Matt combo.

    AUejpN4.png

    Now, I can finally put my master plan into action!

    LYSntjZ.png

    She didn't even get 'spated.

    Basically, I spent the next 10 turns or so wailing on these Ballisticians. You can call it boss abuse. I call it stop using Psychic you Hadrosaurusing Priest.

    EB1Vb3D.png

    Of course, it's worth it, because Caeda gets what's more or less a perfect level.

    bDfHZIy.png: Isn't it funny? The look in their eyes as they slowly meet their demise, helpless to protect themselves...

    UzzCQAU.png: ...Caeda, are you a psychopath?

    bDfHZIy.png: No, I'm saying Ballisticians suck.

    6ebssoD.png

    Matthis and Arran want in on the fun, too! Also, don't believe in those numbers. That's the gate talking.

    fN7C7yD.png

    KeAOQc1.png

    Caeda strikes the final blow...

    sM5YO0J.png

    ...gaining another amazing level. Really, now: Speed capped, at level 1, even after a reduction from the reclass. Let it never be said that Caeda isn't awesome.

    fgUNIC4.png

    Gemini is also obtained. Were this the Tellius games, it would be perfect for a Tome user, but alas, no.

    WJEoyDB.png

    On his way to the castle, Marth grabs a Steel Sword from the armory. I was going to buy more, but I used up all my money on help i tried. Oh, well.

    w8994bW.png

    VyU2Ko5.png

    Now, time for a C a S t L e  L e V e L, baby!

    Ah. Welcome to Stat Shaming with Jagen, the part of the show where Jagen roasts the MyUnit for having a low value in a particular stat.

    UzzCQAU.png: OOH!

    UzzCQAU.png: Everybody's got a Magic growth!

    UzzCQAU.png: Mine is high but his is low.JUZ93a8.jpg

    UzzCQAU.png: Why we have them, I don’t know,

    UzzCQAU.png: but everybody's got a MAGIC GROOOOOOOOOOWTH!

    ilEe1n9.png: Stop it, stop it! What do you think you’re doing? You can't say everyone's got a magic growth when everyone has NOT got a magic growth! 

    ilEe1n9.png: We're going to get nasty letters from the GBA characters saying "Where's my magic growth? Why don't I have a magic growth?"

    ilEe1n9.png: Are you prepared to deal with that? I don't think so. STOP. BEING. SO. SILLY.

    PaarvpQ.png

    It turns out to be a moot point, since the stat in question is Strength.

    80lRD6k.png

    Hey, at least they acknowledge you could be a mage. Or a Myrmidon, but those guys don't stand a chance.

    Tune in next time for castle battle action!

    Friendly tip: put this inside the spoiler. Otherwise, one sees it before the update itself and gets spoiled on what will happen in it.

    Yeah, that occurred to me after I made the update. Since nobody died, I decided to be lazy this one time, but don't worry! It won't happen again.

    Now, on to Luke...

    UzzCQAU.png: Two votes for, one against...you know what that means!

    g94vZgE.jpg: W-wait! Shouldn't we get some other viewpoints?!

    UzzCQAU.png: You know what? You're right. Let's ask the army! Should we shave Luke's head?

    3GNXhGe.jpgX2lTbkv.jpgi46kfKM.pngvSOkCoK.png: DO IT! DO IT!

    g94vZgE.jpg: Uhh...can I can get some voices of reason in the room?

    ilEe1n9.pngbDfHZIy.png: DO IT! DO IT!

    UzzCQAU.png: SHAVING TIME!!

    g94vZgE.jpgNO!! PLEASE!!

    One Haircut Later...

    UzzCQAU.png: Well, what do you think?

    lBoucbJ.jpg: I wanted to carry on my senpai's legacy...but not like this.

    UzzCQAU.png: Well, I think you look great!

    Behold!

    N0sn8qf.png

    Having spent the greater part of 5 minutes trying to think of a witty name that related to Spear of Suicide AND fit in the character limit, I eventually just gave up.

    EBLbE1j.png

    Our team for today. Sadly, we have to bring along Julian if we want to recruit the VIP Card.

    O6GXA73.png

    Since Cecille slyly sensed Sylvain isn't coming today, Arran gets Taurus. It should come in handy with the Dracoknights.

    YufQcX2.png

    High collars must be the fashion in Archeanea.

    MNTvtPq.png

    Lang....calling someone a moron...

    Lang.

    HAHAHAHAHA!

    Don't make me laugh-oh wait, too late.

    u0TR9KS.png

    WLibk7S.png

    We cut to Jeorge, and now I feel silly for asking about him.

    6tMu30L.png

    First things first, recruitment!

    dTZc2vb.png

    Language, sir! I don't know why, but fan translations of FE games always seem to trend towards vulgarity.

    noByKqO.png

    Julian also gets the VIP Card-I mean, a weak and uninteresting character.

    AFeFmAO.png

    This is his best line from both games, which isn't saying much.

    8dQISt3.png

    You know, if I didn't feel bad adding your name to the death counter, you'd be converted into EXP by now.

    DHon6D3.png

    cEuV5bx.png

    Arran weakens the Thief next to them for Matthis to pick off.

    iDuIqDU.png

    Not bad! Double digits, everyone!

    NFjepxO.png

    Everybody else moves into position.

    xXoSlxz.png

    Julian takes a whopping from an enemy mage, but he survives. Thank goodness that the Thief is a Runny-Thief, not a Fighty-Thief.

    VzIdq3j.png

    On that topic, Arran flies after him.

    eQ4b6dQ.png

    As for the mages, Catria kills one...

    fVg3YBA.png

    (clearing the way for Castor)

    VA4sBsP.png

    ...Caeda kills another...

    Tcpn1HR.png

    ...and Gordin and Matthis tag-team the final.

    QMm5WsK.png

    Luke, who totally does not have hair right now, gets a level. That's not magic.

    PdeIjSa.png

    Moving up, as you do...

    CuBruRU.png

    On our next turn, Arran flies straight into the fray to claim that Master Seal for ourselves! Don't worry, he's safe from the Cavs. If things get bad, he can chug a Vulnerary or two.

    kKSh4Un.png

    Matthis will also be here, attempting to be a more appealing target than him.

    c6YHQe1.png

    Meanwhile, on the Southern Isle, Castor prepares to bait out the Knights.

    dMW8DxJ.png

    Success! He even dodges, because he's Matthis, and Matthis is awesome.

    XZvJmM2.png

    Arran dodges, too. What were you saying about unreliable dodge rates?

    JUZ93a8.jpg: That expecting us to dodge fatal blows is futile, and that the best strategy is to avoid sending soldiers who can't take many hits to deal with more than a few enemies?

    UzzCQAU.png: ...sound tactics, good sir. Sound tactics.

    5O2JzTF.png

    The other one still hits, though. Even still, he can take an attack from each of them and still live at one HP. Arran's a beast.

    JUZ93a8.jpg: Thank you- *cough*

    UzzCQAU.png: Are you OK?

    JUZ93a8.jpg: Yes...it's called "Incurable Cough of Death." I only have a few months to live.

    UzzCQAU.png: Oh...I thought it was asthma.

    yjsEbwf.png

    w24ABuL.png

    In lighter news, Gordin once again helps Matthis get a kill.

    b3h6KCX.png

    Arran heals up, gets out his axe, and readies himself to draw out the Dracoknight.

    wFh3bpB.png

    Meanwhile, at the Southern Isle, the Knights don't seem to be interested in attacking Castor, so I send down Caeda for support.

    43wXwYw.png

    Matthis is assaulted by another Cavalier, and yet again, he dodges. Anna has blessed me on this day.

    7heexdX.png

    Qhi32td.png

    I miscalculated the other Cav's range, and Arran ends up taking attacks from him AND the Dracoknight. Thankfully, he would have survived even if he hadn't dodged the latter.

    VRxUWyQ.png

    He continues to draw him toward the large crowd of Altean soldiers ready to kill him.

    vJhmWQK.png

    Oh, and Matthis gets another kill, and a level, too! Let's see what he gets!

    B3PIR3x.png

    ...

    h8L2BtP.png

    Luke heals Gordin again. Now, his staff is almost broken! Then, we'll have to go the rest of the map without healing!

    ilEe1n9.png: I have quite a few in the convoy-

    UzzCQAU.png: Without HEALING!

    yQiOmKK.png

    Meanwhile, at the Southern Isle, Castor heals up from the Stonehoist and once again attempts to draw out the Knights.

    xeUQSAa.png

    Captain Collar here confirms my personal headcanon that Mathematics have been discovered in the Fire Emblem universe.

    Ue6eFEk.png: Invented.

    UzzCQAU.png: ...what?

    Ue6eFEk.png: Mathematics are invented, not discovered.

    UzzCQAU.png: No they aren't. It's not as if some caveman woke up in a cold sweat one night and triumphantly wrote "2+2=4" in the cave dirt. He didn't "figure it out." It's always true and constant, and always will be. He discovered it.

    vSOkCoK.png: Yes, but "discovering" is not the right word. He took a universal truth, and invented a system of displaying and communicating that truth.

    QbtkZwr.png: Actually, much of what is considered "universal truths," is just social consensus between people. Other civilizations would use mathematics completely differently. We create the constraints; we establish-

    i46kfKM.png: NO! You fail to realize that...

    *argue *argue*argue*

    UzzCQAU.png: OK, I'm gonna go on break.

     

  7. Two fun facts: first, I had no idea who the Mysterious Notebook full of puns belonged to (my first thought was Sans), but when

    Flayn disappeared

    I was questioning Alois, and he said, "If I

    I also thought the Razor ("someone who prefers a close shave") belonged to him...but no, it's Hubert's.
