Nimbostratus Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Act IChapter 1In the throne room of Jinin... "...I understand, Father. I won't let you down."Rivas' true feelings were ... mixed, to say the least - but he knew he had to be strong. If he failed Jinin in its hour of need, he wouldn't have a family or a home to return to.He turned around just in time to witness the approach of two travelers, one in armor and the other in robes. Were they here to help...?"Prince Rivas!" cried a royal guard, interrupting his thoughts. "Your Highness, come quickly! Ayajinbo is under attack!""They're here!?" Rivas growled. "How could they reach this far...?""I don't know, Your Highness. It's not a large force... but if we don't stop them, they'll kill the palace servants!"Rivas steeled himself and nodded slowly. "I see..." He glanced at the visitors. "I'm sorry to ask this of you, but we're very short-handed right now. Please lend a hand, and I'll pay you once the battle is over."Meanwhile, a woman walked around the palace grounds. She'd been in Jinin for a few days, looking for work. Now, hobgoblins were crying out in the distance ... it looks like work has found her.Behind the bulk of the enemy force stood a young girl, guarded by a man in armor. The girl was approached by a shifty-looking priest. "You need to be stronger, my pretty. Hold still." He waved his staff in her general direction.Sweetgrape reacted with confusion and drew her sword, demanding to know what the man was doing."You're going to fight for us, aren't you?" He cackled softly. "This spell will make you stronger." And she could indeed feel herself becoming more powerful.The young pirate sulked. "I don't fight for anybody. But.. I actually do feel stronger.. what's the catch?""Simple, girl. Kill anyone wearing the colors of Jinin. If you don't.. you know what will happen." The priest then turned to address the rest of the raiding party. "You know what to do. Get to it!" ObjectivesVisit the servant quarters (M3 and M18)Protect the servantsDefeat all enemiesRivas, Douglas and Miyako can start anywhere within the blue rectangle (Q7-T14).

pluslefan Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Douglas moves to M7 and talks to the kitsune just minding her own business [spoiler=recruitment] "Hey, you there, Kitsune! This place is about to become a battlefield!" Douglas shouts running up to her. "Huh, really? The hobgoblins hadn't tipped me off at all." She replies sarcastically. Douglas furrows his brow and adopts a frown. "...Very funny. The castle's a bit understaffed so myself and this other Kitusne are working on taking care of them. Unless you fancy yourself a fighter you'd best take off." Douglas warned looking ahead at the small band of hoggoblins. "I wouldn't fancy myself a fighter as such, but I can certainly keep a few of these brutes at bay." The acid in her tone is replaced with more levity as she pats her trusty bow. "Can't hurt what they can't reach." "A bowwoman, huh? You know I hear there's a reward from the prince for helping clear out these hobgoblins. Might I be able to count on you to watch my back?" Douglas offers. At this, her grin turns slightly predatory. "I'm sure you have a very interesting back, but wouldn't you rather I kept people off it than merely watch it?""Hmph, if it suits you. Though thinking about it the servants running about are the one's who really need the protection." Douglas replies trying to to ignore her tone."Well," she sighs, her hurt so forced anyone could tell it was feigned, "I suppose if you really don't want me around I can cover them instead." With this, she starts to scamper off, bow in hand."Oh," she says after a moment, "almost forgot; I'm Rhianne. Catch you later!" "Well she was certainly a character...oh wait I never introduced myself. Woops." Douglas laments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Prince Rivas. It's been a while... you're here to warn me about the attack, right? Don't worry. I've already evacuated everyone else. As for myself... well, this is the only home I've ever known. I'd rather stay here." "Are you sure?" asks Rivas. "If they get their hands on you..." "At my age, you don't fear death so much anymore." He chuckles softly. "But thank you for your concern.
