The Last Remnant Love Shall Rise Again
Part 58: Chapter LI - To retrieve we were all played so easily…
To think we were all played and so hands… -OR- Dear Volition Ascent Once again, Part 1
Previously On:
Chapter Xv: Fifty-fifty now, I don't like to go to the bathroom lone
… It's an aboriginal castle left to ruin. Now it's only dwelling house to legions of monsters and beasts. Why in the world would she select such a dangerous place to meet? No affair how I try, I cannot make heads or tails of the conclusion? Nevertheless, I volition go.
Cheers, Rush. Words cannot fully convey my gratitude. … Simply, dearest Charlotte, why did you decide to meet in such a perilous location in the first identify? Though thanks to me requesting Blitz'due south assistance, we were able to rescue you…
What do you mean? Paris, you were the 1 who decided the meeting identify. You wrote me not a fortnight back.
What!? I never wrote such a letter of the alphabet.
Affiliate XXV: You owe me a corpse, asshole!
It's an important hub on the way from the mining city of Royotia. Pretty much all goods going from Royotia laissez passer through Balterossa. From there, they go on to Elysion, and so all over the continent. Afterwards all that, by the time they brand information technology all the way hither to Athlum, appurtenances from Royotia take a pretty heavy markup. So, we've started talks for making a merchandise route from Balterossa directly to Athlum.
Chapter XXVI: My middle was the only prey
More girlfriend troubles, right?
East of Balterossa, deep below the Great Sand Sea, lives a very kind quondam seer. Charlotte and I would appreciate it if you lot would escort us to him.
No prob!
I hate to involve you in our personal intrigues yet over again, but you have my gratitude. Our parents turn down to acknowledge our love. Throughout the time nosotros've been kept apart, we've communicated in hush-hush. But at present...we are tired of all this cloak-and-dagger - keeping our true feelings in the shadows, equally if nosotros are shamed by such a thing! We've decided to elope. The seer has agreed to keep usa for a short time. Later on, we'll flee to some place far, somewhere nosotros may be together.
Who'southward there?
By ridding the world of the two of you lot, our organization will be able to spread joy to many, many people.
Augh!
Hmph. There is no need for me to explain. All I'll have to explain is how I found the two of y'all - victims of lovers' suicide!
Yes, I'm fine. Paris...I'm distressing, I can't exercise this. I tried, but...I need to be at Mother's side.
Why? You believe that the times we spent together, the feelings nosotros shared were nothing more illusions created by the seer?
I simply - I can't...
I... I see... ...It's alright. I knew that someday, we would accept to face the roughshod truth of our state of affairs. I only hoped our borrowed time would have lasted longer...
Paris, I still -
Let usa render... Back to where each of united states belongs.
Music: Gateway to the Due west (Balterossa Theme)
Merchant: Lately things've been a flake more muted... Lady Bertrude has been suffering from some strange illness, and that'south all anyone can talk most.
It's the same every bit Royotia.
Aye. We'd better await around town.
New urban center, so permit'southward talk to the people again.
Tao Tie-Admiring Kid: Then, I was listening to Daddy talk to some rich-looking guy... He said that Ms. Lady Bertrude was real sick an' it was all the Tao Tie's fault! That guy'due south gotta be fibbing! The Tao Tie's ever took proficient intendance of u.s., so it wouldn't do annihilation bad like that!
Aristocratic Man: Lady Bertrude has fallen deathly ill. The town's merchants have travelled far and wide, bringing back different medicinces to attempt and cure her. Merely information technology has been to no avail. Her condition has steadily worsened... What strange disease could accept struck Lady Bertrude down?
Charlotte's Admirer: And so lucky! I wish she'd give me some bedside care... hurr hurr...
Y'all're pretty creepy, dude.
Charlotte's Admirer: A-anyway, she'southward always been squeamish - so delicately built, like she could fit in your pocket! But lately she's been losing weight... At this charge per unit, Lady Charlotte will autumn sick every bit well - and without me in that location to catch her! I-I accept to practise something!!! ...Is what I was thinking, but for some reason, they won't permit me into the castle. *sigh*
You're lucky they haven't let y'all into the dungeon.
The Duchess is an incredibly stiff adult female, taking intendance of Balterossa single-handedly after her hubby passed. She is much admired. If the famed trade routes of Balterossa are able to relieve her life, I tin can't think of anything more appropriate.
The Silver Falcons take received some troubling information from Intelligence... Some entity is attempting to take reward of the Duchess'south affliction to inflame relations between Balterossa and Royotia. By the name of the Silver Falcons, we will do our best to avoid state of war at whatsoever cost.
This seems important.
Elegant Madam: Still, I was drawn to its shimmer and would gaze at it for hours. I tin't quite say I've always shaken the habit! But recently, it's seemed a footling strange. Every so oft, the Tao Tie seems to lose its shine... Like its center had gone cold. Ahh, perhaps it'south just the ramblings of an old biddy... I hope that's all it is, at least.
So apparently the Lady of Balterossa is ill too. Let's have a visit.
Lately it seems my torso will not agree to my spirit's wishes… It'southward almost as if some foreign ability tries to command me… Th-this moving ridge… could information technology be…
Bartender: Oh, a new discovery from the famed scientists… intriguing. Beloved daughter, shall we take a trip to Athlum to meet what the fuss is about?
A-alright…
That's really an of import sidequest which touches on the main plot, but we'll exist putting it off until we advance the chief plot.
Hey, pardner, didja hear? The boss o' this hither state's been ill fer a long spell, an' ain't any o' the medicines helpin' a lick. While on the range, I rode into another country an' they were singin' a similar song. Reckon this bug is only hittin' royal-types? That sure don't sound likewise likely, though...
Oh, you lot again. Heard about you from the commander. Granted, yous don't look like much, but I hear yous're non likewise shabby with a sword. Adjacent time we have an anti-monster operation, join us. Lately, nosotros need all the assistance we can go.
There actually is another op we can do for Caedmon, but we aren't doing information technology today.
Wise Old Man: I really worry for Lady Bertrude... She is deathly sick, and getting worse every day. For her to go from standing proudly at the head of our country to lying in a sickbed... How could this happen? Or - could information technology be...? The curse of the felled warriors of the ancient desert kingdom...? Is it possible in that location was truth to that story? ...Ugh, I don't desire to think most it!
Uh, perchance?
Charlotte-Struck Girl: Apparently she broke up with her beau! Information technology'due south the absolute latest news. And when you hear who it was, you're going to flip. it was the son of Royotia's Marquis, Paris! I mean, seriously, that man is fine. And you know he's gotta be a passionate and skilled lover. *sigh* If it were me, there'd be no way I'd let a catch like that go!
She's standing right there…
What's upward?
It really seems as if Balterossa and Royotia shall get to war. Already strengthen our armies... For a long fourth dimension, Royotia has tried to build its ain trade routes, independent of Balterossa'southward interest.
Oh yep, I remember I helped them find one.
But Mother is strongly opposed to this. Royotia seems blind to the trials of non only creating a major trade route, only protecting information technology from bandits and beasts who would attack it. For them to even attempt to enforce a level of security on the route would take countless lives. Yet through the blessing of the Tao Tie, Balterossa can and has kept the Swell Sand Sea under control for years. I hold with Female parent... It is best for everyone if Royotia continues to employ our roads. Merely Royotia refuses to accept this, and guerilla insurgency in Balterossa has spread... Female parent is certain it is officially sponsored. Simply, to become to war with Royotia without any solid evidence... Tell me, Rush. Is this state of war truly necessary? Will no i try to stop it?
There might be ane guy...
Paris... Yes, if he... If we can - Sir Rush... Will you aid me in a task? I demand to cease this war!
Don't gotta ask me twice!
Cheers so much. Yes...I shall go to Royotia! Paris is the son of the Marquis. Surely he can exercise something!
Accepted quest: Honey Will Rise Over again
Balterossa and Royotia are at each other'south throats. Charlotte asked me to with her to Royotia. Who can say no to such a cute gal?
With this, Charlotte leaves and we tin't discover her. Simply she was headed for Royotia, so let'southward go there. (We could likewise actually go to the Balterossa castle also, just Royotia makes more sense.)
Well met, Rush Sykes. My son has told me a lot about you lot...
No wait, let me explain! I didn't know the squid was in at that place!
Good things, don't worry! It seems that you've helped him out of many a compression.
Right. About that war…
Royotia is continually robbed of the profits it rightly deserves by Balterossa'south exploitation. Ending that cycle and gaining command of her own trade routes is my country's greatest wish. Nonetheless that woman ignores our rights on baseless whim, and instead blames united states of america for her ain security problems. It's every bit if she wishes to bring us to war! And if that is so, we shall show her what the men of Royotia are made of. Nosotros shall establish our routes, and if we must fight, then so be information technology.
Where's Charlotte?
That's the Duchess'due south daughter, isn't it - the one plotting to hoodwink my son? Every bit if I would know her location. The strumpet can die in the gutter for all I intendance. More importantly, might y'all have an idea as to where Paris could have gotten off to? We're on the cusp of war, and he's disappeared... Surely he hasn't gone to meet that trollop? He knows that
is too dangerous correct at present!
HINT HINT Hey guys I recall maybe we should check out Lavafender
Charlotte, nosotros haven't much fourth dimension. We must bring Blitz up to speed...
Oh, yes!
There's no dungeon clamber to search for them, you just meet them. That's a good idea, because we don't demand a dungeon crawl on superlative of the residue of this update.
It was to induce Royotia and Balterossa to deploy their armies, and then use a legion of monsters to completely destroy both forces.
And he just left those letters sitting around for anyone to detect?
The messages were coded, their true content hidden in innocuous-looking phrases, so it took some fourth dimension to decrypt the message.
Someone was trying to dispense our countries into state of war. Mother and Paris's father both fell for their tricks...
They took reward of both our relationship, and Father and the Duchess's distrust of each other. To recall nosotros were all played so hands...
Paris...
Off to Royotia!
We should head to Royotia first, yes? The troops are making their stand at the Salamander's Belly. Let the states hurry, so that we may save the Balterossans as well!
A guest union has joined the party.
This pick matters less than you recall. We have to practice both battles anyway, so information technology's really "which should we fight Start?", and you fight dissimilar enemy compositions depending on which club you lot practise the battles. I don't remember information technology makes enough of a divergence to show off both versions of the battles. So, we're off to the Salamander'south Belly! (I think nosotros've been hither one time before for The Aboriginal War.)
Music: Beat out the Odds
- Boxing Video: Salamander'southward Abdomen
Paris joins u.s. for these battles. We have to spend the first turn endmost in to get anywhere.
The Godwood boss monster appears at the finish of Turn 1.
Distressing.
That's hilariously pathetic for a dodge-counter. Pagus at this point is worthless for physical attacks, so I actually hope yous don't take him use any.
Circle their flank!
On the other hand that is pretty great damage for a normal assail, fifty-fifty with the flank bonus. I'm wondering if this is more than of a benefit of a guest wedlock'due south boosted stats, but I don't remember other guest unions doing huge damage.
Yay!
Land Mine does some damage and lowers an enemy's AP. I've been neglecting item arts, so before this update I stopped by some towns to pick upward supplies and then I tin actually use them.
Rush and Emmy'south unions have managed to finish up pretty far from the others.
Got 'em!
Information technology's startling how expert Gabriel has gotten on this playthrough. I think I should rotate my unions to give Violet and Glenys more of a better take chances to shine, without Rush'south overpowered arts stealing XP. When I next become to look for components, Rush is going to be benched, and Glenys will have the lead.
Music: Turn the Tide
Just marching.
I take everyone stand by or defend, because as soon as one union engages the Godwood…
…some more reinforcements announced. But those are really optional – you only have to have out the Godwood to win the battle. But I'll kill him terminal for more than art XP.
Support is a high-level Remedy, which does the work of three potions at once. (It'south notwithstanding not great).
Sentry this!
That was all Caedmon. Earthrender is super-powerful. The scary thing is that Caedmon'southward been grousing at me for weapon upgrade materials (Raptor Hide) for ages, which means his weapon is outdated and he'due south gear up to upgrade. The really scary thing is that at that place is even so a higher-level art past Earthrender.
Your life is over!
With the extra forces over, everyone left to motion targets the Godwood.
Looks like that hurt!
Rush deals almost 15k damage by himself.
I love large numbers.
Spoiler alert: At that place's no way the Godwood volition live through this plough. Which is actually likewise bad, because I was trying to trigger a Massive Strike.
Have a gustation of Athlum's Strength!
19k harm.
We'll wipe them out at in one case!
learned 
Nimble Acala's Wrath Four!
learned 
Quadrille!
class changed to Expert Cleric!
And that's the first battle done. I achieve BR 33 at the end of information technology. This update was going to break 100 images and probably also the 50,000 graphic symbol limit, so we'll accept to stop it here. The next one should be fix shortly, though, since it'due south generally washed already.
Torgal learned Quadrille - the ultimate Quad-wield fine art – four rapid strikes, one with each weapon.
New Arts Summary
learned Nimble Acala's Wrath 4!
learned Quadrille!
class changed to Practiced Cleric!
On a test run, I got a Massive Strike on the Godwood, so I'll show that off.
- Video: Massive Strike
One thing I learned nigh Massive Strikes is that if the boss had survived another turn, ALL our units could perform a Massive Strike on the next turn – not merely two, ALL of them.
Battle: Salamander's Abdomen
Massive Strike
I'll be doing another component hunt to upgrade my political party members weapons. While doing this, I'll record a bunch of footage and show off new arts.
Poll: Should I include full videos of the battles where I employ new arts, or just curt clips of the new arts?
Side by side Time: Together, nosotros tin bring many people happiness.
