Alchemy wrought the base elements of humanity into thriving civil- izations, like lead into gold. But in time, man's dreams gave birth to untold strife. Dreams of endless riches, of eternal life, of dominion over all that lived... Dreams of conquest and of war. These dreams would have torn the world apart if not for a few brave and wise men, who sealed away the power of Alchemy deep in Mt. Aleph's Sol Sanctum. Prologue from Book One The town of Vale guarded the secret for many years, until Isaac and Jenna, whose parents died in a storm 3 years before, disturbed the sanctum. Saturos and Menardi, of the Mars Clan, following them into the sanctum. With them traveled Jenna's brother, Felix, thought lost in that same tragic storm. Saturos and Menardi stole the Elemental Stars, the keys to breaking the seal on the power of Alchemy, and kidnapped Jenna and the scholar Kraden. If these four jewels were used to fire the elemental lighthouses, the seal on Alchemy would be broken. Isaac and Garet set out to stop Saturos, rescue their friends, and return the Elemental Stars to their home in Sol Sanctum. They banded together with a young Wind Adept named Ivan and pursued Saturos and Menardi to Imil, a winter-locked town near Mercury Lighthouse. There, they met the guardian of the lighthouse, a Water Adept named Mia. With her, they pursued Saturos to the aerie high atop Mercury Lighthouse. Isaac was too late to stop Saturos from lighting the beacon and escaping. Again Isaac chased him, crossing Angara to the shores of the Karagol Sea. Taking passage on a troubled ship, Isaac crossed the Karagol to Tolbi. He spoke with Tolbi's leader, a strange man named Babi. Babi entered Isaac in Colosso as a test of his powers. Isaac's Psynergy won Colosso and earned him Babi's trust. Babi revealed a great secret to Isaac... Thanks to mystic draught from the lost land of Lemuria, Babi had lived for 150 years! He offered to help Isaac, who then headed deep into Gondowan. In the town of Lalivero, Isaac learned that Saturos and Menardi had kidnapped a young girl named Sheba, whom they needed within the lighthouse. Isaac fought and defeated them atop the lighthouse, but he was too late--the beacon had been lit. A great cataclysm followed. Sheba fell into the sea. Felix jumped in to save her, but both were lost in the roiling waves. Jenna left the lighthouse to find them, but to no avail... Isaac went to Lalivero, where Babi asked him to find Lemuria and the remaining lighthouses. He gave Isaac a Lemurian ship to make the journey for the lost land. This chapter of our story begins with Jenna, just before the beacon on Venus Lighthouse is lit... Camelot Presents Golden Sun Book Two The Lost Age #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# $# Venus Lighthouse - Room with electric barrier #$ #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# * - Felix, Jenna and Kraden are present. Felix uses the Psynergy "Move" to push a statue onto the switch that deactivates the electrical barrier. Afterwards, Felix heads back through the lighthouse to the aerie, leaving Jenna and Kraden to head out of the building themselves. They head for the nearby stairway, but Jenna stops. Jenna : Are you sure we should be leaving like this? Once we go down those stairs, we can't get back into the lighthouse. Maybe I should have stopped my brother... Kraden : Jenna, is something troubling you? Jenna : I just... Kraden : What is it? What's wrong? Jenna : I have a bad feeling... Like something terrible is going to happen. * - Alex teleports into the room. Alex : How unlike you, Jenna. * - Jenna and Kraden appear caught off guard. Alex : Surprised to see me? Kraden : A-Alex... Were you listening? * - Alex looks around. Alex : Where's Felix? Why isn't he here with you? Jenna : My brother? He left us. Alex : What can Felix possibly be thinking? Kraden : He was worried about Sheba. He went to check on her. Alex : He was supposed to be leading you out of here! I thought you would have been far from this lighthouse by now. Why are you still here? Kraden : We tried to stop Felix from going back up to the aerie. Alex : How like him. Once Felix gets an idea into his head, he rarely changes his mind. Jenna : Alex, what were you talking about just now? What did you mean when you said... "How unlike you"? Alex : I was merely surprised to hear you expressing such concern, Jenna. Nevertheless, I'm impressed Felix went back... Jenna : Don't change the subject, Alex! What did you mean!? Are you saying that I'm insensitive!? Alex : If that's what you heard, then I must have misspoken. Accept my apologies. Kraden : Well, Jenna, I think Alex has said his piece on the matter... Jenna : I'm not sure he has, Kraden. * - She turns back to him. Jenna : Who do you think you are, talking to me like that!? Alex : I retract my statement, my dear. Forget all about it, Jenna. So tell me about this "feeling," Jenna... Jenna : I'm just...I'm not sure we should be leaving Venus Lighthouse yet... Kraden : What are you saying? Alex : You can't really mean to remain here... Kraden : Alex is right. It's far too dangerous, Jenna. We would only hinder the others... Jenna : The others? Did Isaac follow us to the lighthouse? Kraden : It would seem so. Jenna : He must be trying to stop Saturos and Menardi! If my brother goes back and finds Isaac, they're going to end up fighting. Alex : If the Venus Lighthouse has not yet been lit, yes. They will fight. Kraden : Felix is a terribly rash young man, is he not? Jenna : Why are boys such fools? Kraden : He may be rash, but Felix is no fool. His good qualities outweigh his bad... Jenna : That's why I think Isaac would understand if we just talked to him. Why didn't I think of this before now? Please... Can't we go back up and talk to Isaac? Alex : I'm afraid that's not possible. Jenna : Alex, why? Alex : He is an enemy. Jenna : Isaac? An enemy? Alex : Our methods may differ, but you and I ultimately want the same thing... Kraden : To light the elemental lighthouses... Alex : Isaac and his friends would prevent this from happening. Jenna : So that makes them enemies? Alex : But fear not... They won't be able to defeat Saturos and Menardi. So... Felix went back to the top of the lighthouse? Kraden : Why do you seem so pleased, Alex? Alex : Why shouldn't I be? After all, the lighthouse will soon shine brightly once again! Jenna : Alex, why do you want to see the beacon lit so badly? Alex : Oh, so it's my turn to answer questions, is it? Once, Alchemy was commonplace throughout this world... With its power, mankind worked wonders across the land... Kraden : The lost age of man... Alex : I want to see that world restored once again, and... Jenna : And what, Alex? Alex : We've spoken long enough already. Let us continue this another time. We should leave the lighthouse now, before the beacon is fired... Kraden : I concur... Let's meet at the location we agreed on and wait for Felix. Jenna : All right, Kraden, let's go. #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$ $# Venus Lighthouse - Outside #$ #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$ ????? : There they are! Get 'em! * - Five soldiers and five other men are present. Soldier 1 : Iodem sent us to stand guard here, but... Soldier 2 : I never thought we'd actually run into them! Man 1 : Scoundrels! What have you done with Sheba? Man 2 : Return her now, or you're really going to regret it! Soldier 4 : Um... Aren't there supposed to be more of them? Soldier 5 : Huh... Maybe they're just the first ones to come out... Man 4 : Great! That means we've got 'em outnumbered! Man 5 : We can probably take 'em, you think? Soldier 5 : Go fetch the other Tolbi soldiers still stationed in Lalivero... Soldier 3 : Yes, sir! * - Soldier 3 departs. Man 5 : And we'll go tell the guys in the caves! Man 3 : Got it, Boss! Kraden : How unfortunate... It looks like an ambush. What should we do, Jenna? Jenna : What do you mean? Look around... We'll have to fight them! Alex : Are you serious? Jenna, are you really prepared to fight these men? Jenna : We don't have any other choice. We have to... Alex : Well, then. Allow me to shoulder some of your burden. * - Alex steps forward. Kraden : ...Burden? Alex : We regroup along the road leading away from Lalivero. Do you understand? ----------------------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Kraden : You don't need to remind us, Alex. We know the place. -(No) Kraden : It's quite simple, Jenna. The meeting place is in the direction opposite Lalivero. ----------------------------------------------------------- Alex : Follow this road west, and take the path down through the canyon to the cave. On the other side of that cave, you will find a small peninsula called Idejima. We meet there. Thankfully, only those workmen block your route. Jenna : And fortunately... Kraden : They don't look too tough... Man 1 : Hello! We can hear you!!! Man 2 : That's just plain rude! Alex : Why don't the two of you escape and leave the Tolbi soldiers to me? Jenna : The two of us? Alone? Alex : You can use Psynergy, can't you, Jenna? Jenna : Um... Yes. Alex : Then you'll be fine. We shall reconvene at the peninsula. Soldier 1 : You think you can take on Tolbi's finest on your own, little man? Alex : I do not wish to inflict unnecessary bloodshed. Soldier 2 : Don't wish to... What's that supposed to mean? Alex : If you lay a hand on these two, I assure you that you will be made to regret it. * - Two of the soldiers approach Alex. Alex : By advancing, I assume you mean to fight. Permit me to strike the first blow. * - He uses his Mercury Psynergy to throw the two soldiers away with a blast of water. Soldier 4 : What was that!? Soldier 5 : I don't know, but whatever he did, it's out of our league! * - Soldier 4 turns to the workmen. Soldier 4 : You guys deal with him until backup arrives! Alex : Oh, so you're next? Man 1 : Hey, no need to worry about us! Man 2 : We're not soldiers... We're not anybody! Man 4 : Seriously, there's no way we're gonna face off against you. Man 5 : Let's get outta here! * - The workmen flee. Alex : How undignified... and how shameful. Jenna, now is your chance. Go to Idejima and wait for me. * - Soldier 4 approaches Alex. Alex : I'm not finished with you yet. * - The soldier backs up. Alex : You mentioned backup from Lalivero? Let's go meet them together, shall we? Soldier 4 : Hey, pal! When they get here, you'll really be in for it! Alex : Do you honestly believe that even a hundred of you could stop me? How amusing... This I must see. * - The soldiers continue to back up as Alex advances. Kraden : They're gone... Come on, Jenna. Let's be going. There's nothing standing in our way now! Jenna : But... Kraden : What is it now? Ah... You're worried about hurting any innocents? ----------------------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Kraden : Well, just try to hold back when you're fighting. -(No) Kraden : Oh. You must be concerned about Felix. We can't do anything to help him here. ----------------------------------------------------------- Kraden : Let's get going! To the peninsula! * - If you try to head to the east: Kraden : Not that way, Jenna! The meeting spot is west of here. We must go down that road and into the hills. * - To the west, Man 3 is present. Man 3 : Why do I gotta be the one to wait for backup!? * - He notices Jenna and Kraden. Man 3 : Yaaah! P-P-Please! Just let me go, and... Hey! That scary guy with the blue hair's not with you... Great! Now, you'll see what I'm really made of! * - The man engages Jenna in combat. After defeating him: Man 3 : Ugggh. I can't believe I got beaten by a girl... * - If Jenna is downed in any of the prologue's battles, then she awakens on the ground outside of the lighthouse. Kraden : Jenna... Are... Are you all right? Alex : Ah, Jenna... You're awake. Kraden : Can you stand? * - She does so. Alex : It's a good thing I came back for you two... Kraden : Perhaps you ought to come with us this time... Alex : No. Someone has to keep Tolbi's soldiers at bay. I'll have to go to Lalivero and confront them there. We'll meet at Idejima. * - He leaves. Kraden : He's gone again. And we'd best be going as well... #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$ $# Suhalla Gate - Section 1 #$ #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$ Man : Waahhh! It's them! Whoa there... Where'd the blue-haired guy go? Who cares! I can handle some girl and her grandpa! * - After defeating him: Man : Ooooog. Maybe I shouldn't have underestimated her... #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$ $# Suhalla Gate - Section 2 #$ #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$ * - When trying to head past the path to the Gateway Cave: Kraden : Not that way, Jenna! The meeting spot is down this way. We must climb down here and go into that cave. * - When trying to enter the Gateway Cave, three men jump out. Man 1 : Ha! That was a good idea, waiting here for 'em! You two aren't going anywhere! Man 3 : Except with us, back to Master Iodem! * - After defeating them: Man 1 : Maybe I should have eaten a bigger breakfast. Man 2 : Oh, man... There goes my big promotion... Man 3 : All right, so maybe you are going somewhere after all... #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# $# Suhalla Gate - Gateway Cave #$ #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# * - A "Punch Ant" (a human-sized ant with boxing gloves) appears. After defeating it: Kraden : My! That was invigorating! He wasn't too strong... I never knew fighting could be so fun! Ah, but we'd better get on to the peninsula... #$#$#$#$#$#$#$# $# Idejima #$ #$#$#$#$#$#$#$# Kraden : This is the place, isn't it? * - Regardless of whether the player selects yes or no: Kraden : The peninsula at the end of the road to the west... That's what he told us. This must be Idejima! Hm... Menardi said a ship would be here... We ought to see if we can find it. * - They look for a short time. Kraden : Jenna, it's over here! At first glance, it seems like a normal ship, but... There's something odd about it... * - Kraden darts onto the ship. Jenna : Kraden, wait! Oh, I swear! You're like a kid with a new toy! * - After a while, he still hasn't come back. Jenna : Hurry up in there! * - He returns. Jenna : What's wrong? Kraden : It's missing... Jenna : Hm? What are you talking about? Kraden : The thingie... that makes it go. Jenna : What do you mean? What's so important about this... thingie? Kraden : The boat can't move without it... Jenna : That Menardi! She tricked us! Kraden : Tricked us? Jenna : Yeah, by passing this dud boat off on us! Kraden : There's no trick. If this boat is a dud, how did it get here in the first place? Jenna : Oh, right. * - Kraden paces, thinking. Kraden : It must have been the orb... Jenna : What orb? Kraden : Don't you remember that crystal Saturos was carrying? Jenna : That big, black pearl thing? Kraden : I'm certain he said he could move the ship with it. Alex : Jenna, Kraden! * - Alex emerges from the Gateway Cave. Alex : There you are. I see you've found the boat. We set sail as soon as the beacon has been fired, correct? * - Jenna nods. Everyone looks at the lighthouse across the water. Kraden : Strange... Alex : What is it? Kraden : The beacon... It hasn't been lit yet. Alex : You're right... Why is it taking so long? Jenna : And why hasn't my brother returned? * - Light shines from the aerie. The area around the lighthouse vibrates. Kraden : They've done it, Jenna! They've lit the beacon! * - The vibrations intensify, becoming an earthquake. Jenna : What's happening, Kraden!? Why won't the ground stop shaking? * - The foundation of the lighthouse begins to crumble. Alex : Strange... I think it might actually be getting worse! Jenna : I think the lighthouse is collapsing! Look! The ground around it is crumbling! Kraden : Mercury Lighthouse didn't react this way... What makes Venus different? * - Due the earthquake, Idejima is completely severed from Gondowan. Alex : That last tremor tore a rift in the Suhalla Range! Jenna : How are we going to get back to Gondowan now!? * - Idejima begins to drift out to sea. Kraden : Idejima... It's drifting away from the mainland! Jenna : But... what will happen to us? * - The screen blanks out. Some time passes. Jenna : Oh, Kraden... How long will this island continue to drift? Kraden : I don't know... I wish you could tell me. Jenna : Sheesh... You're no help in times like this. Kraden : Hey, I'm hungry... Jenna : How can you even think about food? I wonder what happened to my brother.. Kraden : I can't be certain, but it looks like they lit the Venus beacon. Jenna : Yeah, I know. You don't have to tell me that. That's how we wound up adrift at sea, right? Kraden : My, aren't you cranky today, Jenna! Well, I suppose you're just worried about Felix. Jenna : Isaac and the others must have been at the lighthouse, too. Kraden : I suspect you're right... Jenna : I miss them... Isaac... Felix... * - Alex walks up to them. Alex : Come with me. There is something I wish to show you. * - They head to the beach at the other end of the peninsula, where Felix and Sheba have washed ashore. Kraden : Felix! Sheba! Jenna : Felix... Sheba... Kraden : They... They're alive... Jenna : They're really alive! Kraden : What is this? Alex, what happened? * - The screen blanks out. The Golden Sun: The Lost Age logo appears. When the scene switches back to the game, Felix and Sheba have been brought off the beach. Kraden : I thought Felix and Sheba were still inside the lighthouse. Alex : It's miraculous. Jenna : Miracle or no, I'm just happy my brother's alive. * - Sheba moves a bit. Kraden doesn't notice. Kraden : What happened back there? Alex : ... * - Kraden seems puzzled as to Alex's lack of response. Jenna : Sheba... Sheba : Oh... Kraden : Thank the elements, she's awake! Jenna : Sheba, are you all right? It's me, Jenna. Sheba : Jenna? * - Sheba sits up. Sheba : What... happened? Kraden : It seems you drifted here with Felix. Sheba : With Felix...? * - Sheba comes to her feet. Jenna : Take your time... Do you feel all right, Sheba? * - She nods and examines her surroundings. Sheba : Where are we? Alex : Idejima. We were all to meet here... But now, the island is floating away from Gondowan. Sheba : This island is moving? Kraden : I know it must be very hard to believe, Sheba. Jenna : When the Venus Lighthouse was lit, a massive tremor tore us off the continent... Alex : The ground beneath the lighthouse roiled, as though it might crumble away. Sheba : I remember now... And that's what carried us away from Gondowan. Kraden : But what happened to you, Sheba? You were in the sea, and Saturos-- Sheba : Saturos and Menardi are gone... Alex : What do you mean? Sheba : Another group came... They fought Saturos and Menardi and won. Jenna : Was it Isaac? Sheba : Isaac... Yes, I think that's what they called him... Alex : You expect me to believe Isaac and his companions defeated Saturos and Menardi? * - Sheba nods. Alex : Have they really grown so powerful in so short a time? Kraden : But how did you wind up in the sea? Sheba : When the beacon was lit, the earthquake knocked me off the light- house tower. * - Felix moves slightly. No one notices quite yet. Jenna : Then what's my brother doing here? Sheba : He tried to save me from drowning... Kraden : Felix jumped from the top of the lighthouse!? Dear me! * - Alex notices Felix moving. Alex : Felix... are you awake? Kraden : Ah! Felix, you're awake! Jenna : Brother... * - He stands. Jenna : Are you sure you should be standing? * - He looks around. Kraden : You don't seem very surprised to find yourself on a floating island. Alex : Felix, once you'd saved Sheba, you must have swum out here, correct? You must have seen that this island was floating when you were swimming. Jenna : But what do we do now? Sheba : I have no idea. Nobody knows what lies beyond the Eastern Sea. Kraden : Unfortunately, I am a student of Alchemy, not geography... * - Alex sees something. Sheba : What is it... Alex? Kraden : What's the matter? Alex : Can't you see it? Jenna : It's land! An island! Sheba : It's a little... big for an island. Kraden : That's no island... It's a new continent! Jenna : We're saved! Kraden : So it would seem... Sheba : Wait... Jenna : What is it? Sheba : We're going to pass north of the continent... Kraden : She's right! Sheba : I don't think we're going to make it! Jenna : Oh, Kraden... Felix... What are we going to do? Felix : ??? * - Kraden notices something else. Kraden : Oh... This can't be good. Jenna : What... is it? Sheba : It's... a tidal wave. Jenna : A tidal wave? Sheba : The earthquake must have caused it! Kraden : Oh... Oh my... It's coming right at us! Jenna : Alex... How can you stay so calm at a time like this? Alex : At times like this, where would be the good in panicking? Sheba : We'll be washed away! Kraden : Help!!! * - The tidal wave collides with Idejima, during which Felix's group is rendered unconcious. By the time that Felix awakens, Alex and Saturos's ship are missing, and Idejima has drifted to the new continent: Indra. #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# $# Idejima - Indra #$ #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# * - Felix is the first to regain consciousness. : Do you want to check yourself for injuries? ----------------------------------------------------------- -(Yes) : Looks like the arms are still attached. That's a good start. The legs are working fine, too. Yup. You're fine! -(No) : You walk around a bit, and everything seems fine. ----------------------------------------------------------- * - Jenna: Jenna : What... What am I doing down here? Oh... I must have blacked out when the wave hit... Hey! We've hit land! That wave must have carried us here! What luck! Have you checked everyone else? Are they all right? ----------------------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Jenna : Great! Then let's go! -(No) Jenna : Then let's go find them and get off this island! ----------------------------------------------------------- : Jenna joined your party. * - Kraden: Kraden : Oooog... Oh... Felix... Ouch... That was quite a blow... What happened when that wave hit? Felix, look! That wave carried us to the continent! We've hit solid land! Let's go, Felix! : Kraden joined your party. * - Sheba: Sheba : Ohhh... Nnng. The wave! What happened to the tidal wave? I thought we were done for, but we're all fine... And we've run aground! The tidal wave turned out to be a stroke of luck! I wonder where we are... We should take a look around! : Sheba joined your party. * - Trying to leave Idejima without the others: Kraden : Hey, Felix! You weren't planning on leaving me, were you? Hm? Well! It's land! The wave carried us back ashore! I assume you merely... forgot about me in your excitement? Understandable, but you should have waited for me, Felix. Nevertheless, let us be on our way! : Kraden has joined your party. Jenna : I can't believe you two! How could you!? Leaving me on that island while you go off exploring on your own! And here I was, looking everywhere for you! Kraden : I'm sorry, my dear... Can you ever forgive us? Jenna : Oh... All right. Just don't leave me alone like that again... Anyway, look! That wave must have carried us to a new continent! Let's go exploring! : Jenna joined your party. Sheba : Wa-Wait! Aren't you worried about me in the slightest? Did you rescue me from the lighthouse just to leave me for dead on this island? Kraden : Now, I'm sure he meant to do no such thing... Sheba : I wonder... Oh, don't give me that sad face... You know I can't stay mad at you... After all, you did save me, Felix. I won't soon forget that... But don't leave me behind like that again, OK? So that big wave pushed us aground? Way to go, Nature! What's out here, anyway? Kraden : That's what we were about to find out! Sheba : Let's get started then! : Sheba joined your party. * - When heading west of Idejima: Kraden : By the way... Where has Alex gone? He doesn't seem to be anywhere on the island. You don't think he set out on his own, do you? ----------------------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Kraden : Then I guess there's no reason to look for him here. -(No) Kraden : Well, he's no longer on Idejima, at any rate. ----------------------------------------------------------- Kraden : He might have gone to look for a ship. Jenna : Alex wants a ship? Kraden : Did you forget what he was saying? ----------------------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Kraden : He wants to return Alchemy to its former place in the world. -(No) Kraden : Then you know he wants to restore Alchemy to the world. ----------------------------------------------------------- Jenna : By lighting the four elemental lighthouses, he might just succeed. Sheba : But why the ship? Kraden : The remaining two lighthouses are unreachable by land. None remain to be lit across the Eastern Sea. Jenna : So what should we-- Kraden : We must go to the Great Western Sea... Sheba : The Western Sea... Jenna : Is that where we're going, Felix? ----------------------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Kraden : Well said, Felix! And go there, we shall! -(No) Kraden : Don't be foolish, Felix. We must pursue Alex. We have to go there... ----------------------------------------------------------- Jenna : That's right! Our parents' lives depend on it! Kraden : What about you, Sheba? Sheba : What do you mean? Jenna : It's... not going to be an easy trip. Kraden : And there is no reason you should have to face that danger... Right, Felix? ----------------------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Sheba : Then you should know my reason for traveling with all of you, Felix... -(No) Sheba : Felix remembers... I have a reason to be traveling with you... ----------------------------------------------------------- Kraden : What do you mean, Sheba? What reason? Sheba : It's my destiny... Jenna : This quest is your... destiny? Kraden : And you couldn't tell us about this earlier? * - Sheba nods. Jenna : But how can we trust you when we don't know why you're with us? Sheba : I'm sorry... But please, you have to take me! You must! You need me! Kraden : I don't understand. Why exactly do we need you? Sheba : You know that I am an Adept, don't you? I can control the wind, as Felix already knows... Kraden : You knew that we was a Wind Adept? ----------------------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Kraden : Saturos must have mentioned it atop the lighthouse... I see... -(No) Kraden : Saturos must have known it, even though he never told you... ----------------------------------------------------------- Sheba : They saw that I was a Wind Adept right away... They kidnapped me for my powers... They needed them on their journey. Jenna : Oh, yeah... They would have needed an alignment that complemented their own. Sheba : They said they would need a Wind Adept in order to light Jupiter's beacon. Kraden : Ah, of course... And I suspect we'll need your power there as well. Sheba : So you see, you do need me. Jenna : All right... I guess I understand now. * - Jenna turns to Felix. Jenna : But you want to know what she meant by destiny, too, don't you? ----------------------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Jenna : I wish we could read minds like Sheba. Then we'd know... -(No) Jenna : Oh, so it's just me? Too bad I can't read minds like Sheba, huh? ----------------------------------------------------------- Kraden : I'm sure she will tell us in her own time. Won't you, Sheba? * - She nods. Kraden : I think, for now, that we should simply trust Sheba. Now, I am quite famished.

Have you been to Daila before? -------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Strange... I just don't remember ever seeing you around here before. -(No) Well then, welcome to Daila, the northernmost town on the continent of Indra! -------------------------------------------- * - 2nd+ time: We were hit by a gigantic tidal wave, but there were no injuries... It was miraculous! {M} That wave turned this place into a swamp! Everything smells like brine! [002] :{S} I saw a bright light in the northwestern sky earlier... Somewhere over Gondowan. It was right before the tidal wave... I wonder if there's a connection... {M} I thought I saw some lights in the northwestern skies... Maybe I just imagined them. [003] :{S} That tidal wave left a lot of standing water in our village... The worst part is that it's all salt water. {M} With all this salt water on the ground, what will happen to our crops? [004] :{S} Didn't it feel like all of Indra moved when that wave hit? -------------------------------------------- -(Yes) I knew it! You felt it, too! And that shock afterward! It felt like the whole continent got rammed into something! -(No) Wow... That wave must have knocked you silly if you didn't notice it... -------------------------------------------- {M} That must have been one serious wave to make the whole continent move... I didn't even know continents did that! [005] :{S} Thank goodness for that mountain range to the north... If that range weren't there, we would have been washed away for sure... {M} The sea god must have saved us from the wave. It's good we have a shrine honoring him. [Item] :{S} I haven't seen Tavi and Riki around lately... I like those little guys, so I'm kind of worried about 'em. {M} I'm sure those two went to the Shrine of the Sea God. They never listen! I told them they were way too small to climb those cliffs... [006] :{S} Riki and Tavi sure are out late... {M} The Shrine of the Sea God stopped the wave, but I'm worried... Riki and Tavi were playing in there, and I'm too scared to tell anyone. [007] :{S} I wonder if those two are still out there... They know it's off-limits. {M} I can't believe those losers were inside the shrine when the wave hit! If Riki and Tavi want to be idiots, I say, let 'em! [008] :{S} Huh? You want a boat? -------------------------------------------- -(Yes) What kind of insensitive jerk are you? Everyone knows all our boats were destroyed by the tidal wave! -(No) Of course not! The tidal wave ruined all our boats... Asking us for a boat now would be just plain mean! -------------------------------------------- {M} With all the boats gone, we sailors are stuck here! What are we supposed to do on dry land? Knit!? [009] :{S} Ohhh... that wave knocked me over, and now I can't get up. I must have been born to suffer! {M} My hip's killing me, and all that woman cares about is how muddy my clothes are! She cares more about the laundry than she does me! [010] :{S} Our village survived the wave, but all our boats were destroyed.. We won't be sailing for a while, but we'll pull through somehow.. {M} That wave was brutal! It smashed my boat to splinters! [011] :{S} Bleah! I fell in a puddle and got my clothes dirty! Mom's gonna have a fit! {M} Bleccch! This water's saaalty! [012] :{S} Yaaay! Puddles in the village! Yaaay! {M} Yay! We never get puddles like this, not even when it rains! [013] :{S} The ancient tower to the east? It's the Shrine of the Sea God... Listen, if you're not into being cursed horribly, you should stay away from there. {M} I can't believe those children play in the shrine! It's danger- ous, and it will only bring them misfortune... [ Buildings ] * - Riki's residence: [014] :{S} Riki's really in for it when he gets home! He's been out playing with his friend for days! {M} Riki, Tavi... Where are you? What are you up to? [015] :{S} That no-good kid of mine! Taking his father's fishing pole! I mean, really! If he doesn't come home soon, he's really going to get it! {M} That Tavi's a bad influence on Riki... Just because he lives next door doesn't mean they have to be friends! ----- * - Tavi's residence: [016] :{S} I wonder where our little Tavi has gone. I'm getting worried. He was gone when the wave hit, and he hasn't been home since... {M} I'll bet that, wherever Tavi is, Riki is with him... The neigh- bors must be pretty worried, too. [017] :{S} Tavi never misses three o'clock snacksies! Where could he be? His food's getting cold... {M} If Tavi isn't home soon, we're going to have to go looking for him. ----- G. Healer :{S} Travelers! Well, I'll be! Do you have a lot of time and nowhere to go? -------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Then I suggest you visit the Kandorean Temple to see Master Poi. He performs great feats, but I'll warn you, he might not let you in... -(No) Oh, going to Madra, are you? It's a dangerous road, but no one will stop you from taking it, my children. -------------------------------------------- {M} Travelers with nowhere to go... This is bad. I hope they stay out of the shrine... If they anger the sea god, there's nowhere they could hide, not anywhere in Indra! ----- Innkeeper1:{S} What should I cook for our guests tonight? I just can't decide. {M} We can't sail, and we can't fish... Not with our ships in this condition... Oh... I'm not looking forward to becoming a vegetarian... Innkeeper2:{S} We run a very small inn, so we make do with just the two of us working here... {M} Look at all these guests! We need more help... but how will we afford it? [018] :{S} I don't know when I'll be able to return to Madra. I sure miss the food there. {M} After all that shaking, I wouldn't be surprised if the roads were unusable. [019] :{S} I heard the seafood in Madra is wonderful! I wonder what kinds of fish they catch in Madra... {M} I'm so torn... Do I like my fish grilled? Or do I prefer poached? It's hard to say... Why is life so difficult? ----- [020] :{S} If you're looking for a boat, you might check in Madra... Head south, and then when the road forks, follow the path to the east. {M} I wonder how the road to Madra is holding up after that flood... The ground was always pretty soft around there... [021] :{S} If you head south, you'll find a fork in the road. Take the road west, and you'll hit the Kandorean Temple in no time. {M} I wonder if the holy man at the Kandorean Temple is as powerful as they say... ----- [Weapon] :{S} You folks ain't thinkin' 'bout goin' south, are ya? The roads to the south are a real mess from the earthquake. Dangerous, too. {M} I'm glad I'm not going to Madra now... It had been so parched for so long... And now, after the quake, I'm sure it's full of cracks and fissures and gaps... [Armor] :{S} You guys look new 'round these parts! What bring you to here? There's nothing much to see on this forsaken continent. You must be odd folk indeed! {M} If those two scamps knew there were travelers in town, they'd have a field day. ----- Mayor :{S} In all my years as mayor, I've never seen a wave like that before... I'm grateful that nobody was seriously injured. {M} At least, nobody seems to have been injured too badly. Maybe I should make another inspection later. [022] :{S} The wave was awful, but the noise that followed was even worse... The shock alone could probably have destroyed the road to Madra. {M} I still don't know what that sound I heard was... With everything that's been going on lately, I'm still a little edgy... [023] :{S} A lot of folk said they heard a terrible rumbling from the south- east. You ask me, it was the road to Madra crumbling to bits... {M} We should find a different way to get to Madra. That shoddy road's a mess... [024] :{S} Between the pirates and the tidal wave, this town has the worst luck! Now that Briggs has been arrested in Madra, maybe our luck is changing... {M} Now that Briggs is locked away, we shouldn't have any pirate trouble this year. Of course, that tidal wave did more damage than those pirates ever managed... #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# $# Upon exiting to the south #$ #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# * - A Venus Djinni named Echo is flying around. Felix notices it. Echo : Hey! You look like you already know a little about us, huh? ----------------------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Echo : See, you know all about us, so you must be an Adept. -(No) Echo : Well, you weren't very surprised when you saw me. Am I right? --(Yes) Echo : I thought so. I could tell you were an Adept from a mile away! --(No) Echo : No way! You? Surprised? Nah, I can't believe that! I mean, look at you! You're an Adept! ----------------------------------------------------------- * - Felix appears surprised that the Djinni knew he was an Adept. Echo : Even I know that! You look like you're new around here. Embarking on a dangerous journey in a strange land? I thought so... Well, I'm looking for my companions... We were parted when Mt. Aleph erupted. Would you mind helping me find my companions? Come on, take me with you. I'll even lend you and your allies my powers! You see, the more Djinn you have with you, the more powerful your Psynergy becomes! All you have to do is set us and then unleash us in battle! If you gather a bunch of us, you'll have all that power at your disposal! So what do you say? Will you be a pal and take me with you? ----------------------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Echo : I'm so happy! Oh, you won't regret this, I promise! * - Echo responds the same way to being accepted regardless of when it occurs. -(No) Echo : Oh, come on! I promise I won't be a burden and eat all your chips or anything! --(No) Echo : But if I'm with you, you'll be all kinds of strong! ---(No) Echo : Wait, that's not it... There's more! Your allies with develop exciting new abilities! ----(No) Echo : And I'll be your best friend ever in combat! I'll be all over the bad guys, I promise! -----(No) Echo : What, you want to see me beg? Fine! I'm begging! PLEASE! Let me join your group! ------(No) Echo : You just don't get it, do you? I'm not used to being ignored, you know. Take me with you! -----=(No) Echo : Don't be a meanie, OK? Nobody likes a meanie. I'm serious here. You don't really want to leave me behind, do you? ----==(Yes) Echo : Oh, all right. If that's the way you're gonna be, fine. I'm coming with you anyway! ----------------------------------------------------------- : The Venus Djinni Echo has become Felix's pal. Echo : While I'm here, would you like me to give you a quick explanation about Djinn? ----------------------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Echo : After bringing a Djinni into your party, you must set it to somebody. * - Echo opens up the Djinn menu to demonstrate some things. Echo : To give your Djinni to someone else, move it like this. After choosing who gets the Djinni, you can "set" it. Setting a Djinni changes your attributes and sometimes even your class. When your class changes, the Psynergy you can use may also change. Next, I'll show you how you can use us in battle. Each Djinni has different, unique powers. Once we have been set, you can unleash us in battle to use our powers. So, Felix, let me demonstrate the power of my attack now. * - They automatically engage an enemy in battle. Echo : Choose this command when you want to unleash me in battle, all right? That's all you have to do to unleash a set Djinni! * - Felix uses Echo's ability. Echo : See! What did I tell you? When you unleashed me, I used my special attack ability! After being unleashed, we Djinn will then stand by, ready to be summoned back again... If you have multiple standby Djinn, you can summon even greater powers into battle! * - With one Venus Djinni (Echo) on standby, Felix summons Venus. Echo : See! We Djinn can be pretty useful, can't we? But... there's one more thing. After a Djinni has been used to summon, it must spend time in recovery. And once we've recovered, we automatically set ourselves again, so we're ready to attack! So, we go from set to standby to recovery, then back to set. That's just a simple little explanation of how to use us. Did you get all that? --(Yes) Echo : Well, that's it. Now, we're pals forever! --(No) Echo : Hmmmm... Do you want me to explain it all to you again? ---(Yes) Echo : Well, then, I guess I'll go back to the beginning, OK? * - Echo repeats the explanation. ---(No) Echo : Well, that's it. Now, we're pals forever! -(No) Echo : Well, that's it. Now, we're pals forever! ----------------------------------------------------------- Echo : Oh, yeah! If you want to learn more about Djinn, refer to the help, OK? You and your friends should make sure you get the most out of us Djinn. : Felix found the Venus Djinni Echo! #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# #$#$#$#$#$#$#$ $#$#$#$#$#$#$# #$# [02'03] --- [Indra] --- [02'03] #$# #$#$# Kandorean Temple #$#$# #$#$#$#$#$#$#$ $#$#$#$#$#$#$# #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# * - The gate to the temple grounds is shut.

How indeed? * - Poi runs out of the room to the ledge where he was shouting to the others, and looks below. Poi : The rope is still on the floor. * - Poi returns to Felix's group. Poi : You must have come through the cave... That means... I must give you... the secret of Lash! Kraden : Master Poi... You seem perturbed. Poi : Oh, no... Not at all... Kraden : Felix, am I imagining it, or does he seem perturbed? ----------------------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Poi : I am not perturbed. Merely... surprised. -(No) Poi : No one from outside the temple has ever passed the test. It's amazing... ----------------------------------------------------------- Kraden : What is this "Lash" you mentioned a moment ago? Poi : Lash is a sacred power, passed down for years to the followers of this temple. Kraden : A sacred power? And it's called Lash, you say? Poi : And now, I must pass it on to you. It is our way. It is a gift given to all those who pass the test, as it has been for ages. Kraden : What type of power is this Lash? Poi : Allow me to show you. * - Using Lash, Poi telekinetically ties a rope to a stake atop a ledge. Kraden : Lash looks quite a bit like Psynergy, doesn't it? ----------------------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Poi : Psynergy, hm? We call it spiritual strength, but it seems the same. -(No) Poi : I do not know of your Psynergy, but our power comes from within. ----------------------------------------------------------- Poi : This technique uses the spiritual to affect the physical. One with a strong spirit can lift and move heavy objects farther. Kraden : The distance changes with your level of power? Fascinating! Poi : Those who cannot pass this cave's trials are not worthy of the technique. Kraden : Felix, do you think this cave was designed to test one's control of Psynergy? ----------------------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Poi : Yes, yes! Well done, old man! Kraden : Who are you calling an old man!? You're no spring chicken yourself! -(No) Poi : You are quite mistaken... You should listen to the old man. He speaks wisely. Kraden : Tha--HEY!

A stone rests on a pedestal. Poi :{S} Take the power of Lash. It is yours now. {M} Ho ho! I feel the strength of your spirit flowing toward me! Splendid! * - Examining the stone on the pedestal: Poi : This is the power and the secret of our temple! If you are worthy, you will use it with ease! When you see a rope, use Lash on it... perhaps you will find this useful on your travels. Take this power with you, and do good. : Felix got the Lash Pebble.

I think it was just that none of his students can do it yet... [005] :{S} I hear that someone passed the test... No matter, though... I am here to improve myself, to mediate... Not to show off. {M} I knew it! It should have been me taking that test! [006] :{S} When I awoke, I learned that someone else had passed my test...

Riki : Sorry, Tavi... I can't do it! Tavi : I thought I got lucky when that wave carried me up here... Riki : What are you, crazy? It knocked you stupid for a good ten minutes! Tavi : Yeah, yeah! Just find some way to get me down from here! Riki : Fine! Just don't jump down or do anything dumb, OK? * - Riki goes to another area. Riki :{S} Wah! You scared me! I thought you were one of the grown-ups from Daila... So, who are you? Look, I'm kinda busy trying to help my pal Tavi right now, OK? {M} I can't find anything around here that'll help get him down from there! * - Felix can use Lash on the rope to tie it to the stake on the other ledge. Kraden : Excellent work, Felix! Tavi : Hey, the rope! Awesome, Riki! Way to go! * - He climbs down the rope. As he examines Felix's group: Tavi : Who are you? Kraden : We're just passing through. Tavi : How come you threw me the rope? Kraden : We'd heard that you needed some assistance. Tavi : Well, whatever. Thanks anyway. * - Riki returns. Riki : Hey, Tavi! How'd ya get down from there? Tavi : These guys threw me the rope... Riki : Really? These grown-ups? Well, whatever. Now we can go nab that critter we saw! * - He is referring to Breath, a Jupiter Djinni. Tavi pauses. Riki : What? What is it? Tavi : That little guy's so fast, I can't catch him! Riki : Do you think we could catch him together? Tavi : Well, yeah, except that every time I'm about to grab him, he flies off! Riki : So I guess it wouldn't matter if we worked together or not. Tavi : Yeah, I guess not.

[002] :{S} Those puddles of seawater the wave left have almost all evaporated now. {M} Those puddles stank! I thought I'd get sick from the smell of stagnant brine! [003] :{S} It was creepy--right before the wave hit, the water got all quiet and calm. I don't know how to explain it, but it was really creepy. {M} Before the wave hit, the tide went way out... It was like the sea had been drained away... [004] :{S} Sure are a lot of travelers coming through here today. That last one, though... He was awful cute. {M} Is that guy still meeting with the mayor? [005] :{S} Ah, the sea is calm again, and we can all get back to our normal lives. {M} I'm glad everything is back to normal here in Daila... [Item] :{S} Tavi and Riki are back home, safe and sound... They stopped by to say hello on their way... What nice kids. {M} I hope their parents didn't punish them too severely... They must have worried their parents half to death! [006] :{S} The dread pirate Briggs was captured in Madra... If that guy were free, you could bet he'd be coming after our village... {M} I wonder what happened to Briggs when they caught him... [007] :{S} Those two losers are back home now, eating their snacks... {M} Tavi and Riki must have been starving. They were gone for days... [008] :{S} So... I hear they caught the pirate Briggs down in Madra... The seas should be safe now. Makes me with I still had a boat... {M} The seas are peaceful and free of pirates at last, and I don't even have a boat. Life's funny like that. [009] :{S} I bet you thought it was the wave that knocked me over and hurt my hip, huh? -------------------------------------------- -(Yes) It'd take more than a little water to knock this old-timer down! No, it was the earthquake afterward that made me fall on my tush... -(No) Nobody believes me when I tell them the continent moved... Why do you think I fell? The ground shifts, you fall on your fanny! It's a fact! -------------------------------------------- {M} Nobody believes a wave could be big enough to move a continent... I'm starting to think it's a sign of things to come, personally.. [010] :{S} I thought I saw something when those puddles dried. Maybe it was just my eyes. {M} It's probably nothing but junk and garbage, but it's not my problem... [011] :{S} I got hurt when I was playing in the puddles, so not I'm not. {M} I caught my foot on something that was in one of those dried-up puddles. [012] :{S} The puddles are gone, and now I'm bored. {M} I hope some of the little puddles stay, at least. [013] :{S} I've always heard that the Shrine of the Sea God holds an amazing treasure... {M} I'd sure like to see what that treasure is... [ Buildings ] * - Riki's residence: Riki :{S} Mmm... Mmnph... Dad was SO mad that we were late... He said, "No dinner for you!" And I was like, "Whatever!" * - He appears to be eating something. {M} I still want to catch that monster. We are SO going back there tomorrow. [014] :{S} Let me tell you, kids are a lot of work... If they're not getting in trouble, they're inside, and they're eating! {M} Darn that Riki! Ah... I'm glad he's home, though... He's so cute when he's stuffing his face. [015] :{S} Who stays outside until he's absolutely famished? And would it have hurt to let us know where he was going!? {M} Hee hee. My little Riki is mommy's little monster! Just look how he eats! ----- * - Tavi's residence: Tavi :{S} Mmmph... Mmmm. Don't tell anyone we were in the Shrine of the Sea God. * - He appears to be eating something. {M} I'm sure glad I made it down from that cliff... I could have starved up there! [016] :{S} Our little one is finally home. I don't know where he got to for all that time. {M} I guess Riki next door made it home, too. Those two are just inseparable. [017] :{S} Tavi wolfed down his snack and just asked for more! He must think we're here to feed him, I swear! {M} Once Tavi finishes eating, I'm putting him right outside again! ----- G. Healer :{S} There is nothing left for you in Daila... Please be careful on your journey to Madra. {M} Daila's probably pretty boring for travelers. ----- * - Innkeeper2 and a new woman ([025]) are practicing a dance here. Innkeeper1:{S} Our fishermen still can't head out to sea... When will they start fixing all those boats!? {M} Until we get our seafood back, we have to put on these shows for guests... My feet hurt... I wonder if they'll let me skip tonight's performance... Innkeeper2:{S} Oh, I was just practicing. It's part of our dinner show for guests... You know, because we don't actually have any food for dinner... {M} Shoot... What was my first line? "Welcome to the Palace of the Dragon King"? [018] :{S} When do we get to sample some of Daila's famous seafood? {M} I just hope they don't make us watch another one of those awful shows! I'd rather eat a pile of steamed cabbage than watch them again! [019] :{S} I'm sick of eating nothing but vegetables... And the service stinks! At least there's a show. I wonder what we'll see tonight... {M} Maybe I'll just get up on stage and do a little dance of my own tonight. [025] :{S} Er... Aheh heh... You... weren't watching, were you? I was just practicing for the show we're putting on tonight. {M} Putting on shows instead of serving good food is fine, I guess... But won't stories about sea dragons make people think about seafood? ----- [020] :{S} Are you going to Madra? -------------------------------------------- -(Yes) You'll have to cross the Dehkan Plateau... It's a dangerous place. You'll want to be very, very careful out there. -(No) Walking into trouble just for a boat ain't exactly smart... But sometimes, you have to face danger to move forward. -------------------------------------------- {M} Daila got hit pretty hard. I wonder how Madra is doing... [021] :{S} I think Madra is east of the crossroads... I think.... {M} Someone should see how the road to Madra held up in the quake... ----- [Weapon] :{S} Way back when, Daila used to be a hideout for a band of pirates.. They were all captured, but no one ever found their stolen treasure. {M} This town may be dirt-poor, but we still get a good variety of travelers. They're searching for treasure, I'll bet. I hear even Briggs was after it! [Armor] :{S} We don't have a lot of people in Daila, but it's a very spacious town... The layout confuses me sometimes! {M} Maybe they hid treasure here because this town is so mazelike... ----- Mayor :{S} Don't tell me you're all looking for a boat, too! -------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Look, there aren't any boats here, not for you or anyone! Try Madra, down south! -(No) If I had one, I'd let you use it, but I don't. -------------------------------------------- {M} He said he'd pay me a fortune for a boat. I'm not sure he'd pay me even if I'd had one, though... [022] :{S} It's too dangerous to go to Madra now. I wonder if that man who wanted the boat will survive on the Dehkan Plateau. {M} The road to Madra goes through the Dehkan Plateau. It's nearly impossible to cross over that soft, crumbly soil right now. [023] :{S} Who was that guy? I wonder why he needed a boat so badly. {M} Maybe that guy washed up on shore when the wave hit... [024] :{S} Why did the pirate Briggs plague us for so long? If I were going to Madra, I'd go look him in the eyes and ask him! {M} Briggs probably has lots of men under him... If I lived in Madra, I'd be more worried about them coming to rescue him. #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# #$#$#$#$#$#$#$ $#$#$#$#$#$#$# #$# [02'06] --- [Indra] --- [02'06] #$# #$#$# East Indra Shore #$#$# #$#$#$#$#$#$#$ $#$#$#$#$#$#$# #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# Kraden : Look...

Piers : The heart of the Eastern Sea... If I told you where, you'd never believe me. Shin : Look at me when I'm talking to you! Are you trying to mock me!? Piers : I implore you, do not anger me. Shin : Oh, do you? So what's going to happen if I make you angry? Man 1 : Hey, Shin... Maybe we should go easy on him. Shin : Hey, it wasn't your girlfriend who got hurt! Piers : I'm sorry she was injured, but I cannot-- Shin : I don't want your sympathy, freak! I want you to get angry for me! Piers : Stop, please... Even my patience has its limits. * - Shin turns to Man 1. Shin : Hey, don't you want to see what he'll do? Man 1 : I think we should just stop... Piers : If my words will not cool your temper, then... * - Piers uses the Psynergy "Frost", which turns a small puddle of water below Shin into a large pillar of ice. Kraden : Oh! That was Psynergy! * - Shin falls off the pillar. He pauses, and then... Shin : Waaaaaaaaaahh! * - ...scurries out the door. Man 1 : Did you do that? Piers : What did your friend expect?

When will that kindly elder return and end my imprisonment? I have no time to wait, but I don't want to have to hurt anyone... {M} Why did I use my Psynergy in anger? I must maintain control... My actions should never cause regret-- I... sense someone... using Psynergy... That person... Could he be--no, he is not of my people... When will I be freed? * - Upon exiting the prison: Elder Dau : Has Piers escaped!? * - The elder's daughter and a man appear. They enter the prison. Elder Dau : Oh, I'm so relieved... So Piers hasn't escaped? Man 2 : If he had escaped, the elder would no longer be able to protect him. Elder Dau : But... from the look of things, it seems there was a scuffle... * - The man nods. Man 2 : The cell is in disarray... Elder Dau : What happened in there, I wonder? Man 2 : It seems Piers is a man of many mysteries. Elder Dau : Not the least of which being that boat he arrived in... * - She notices Felix's group. Elder Dau : Oh, you there... You look like travelers. Man 2 : Milady, now is not the time to be speaking with strangers! Elder Dau : It's all right... This one has such kind eyes. When did you arrive? And where are you going? Man 2 : My lady, please... Elder Dau : Are you... going to Osenia? ----------------------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Elder Dau : I knew it! -(No) Elder Dau : No need to be shy, my friends. ----------------------------------------------------------- * - She turns to the man.

Everyone's talking about it. As it dealing with invading pirate soldiers wasn't enough! {M} These are rough times... We don't have nearly enough people to help us. Guard 2 :{S} There's no way those pirates are coming back... Not after Indra slammed into Osenia. I hear you can even walk there if you want. {M} It's so weird that we can just walk to Osenia now. Crazy, crazy world... [001] :{S} You picked the wrong time to come to Madra... We've had disasters, pirate attacks, all sorts of nonsense... {M} The town elder is getting pretty elderly. I hope he's OK? traveling out there... [002] :{S} Those Champa curs dug a hole here to sneak into Madra... And to think, it was just a decoy so they could break into the prison... What a crazy plan! {M} The Champa must have known exactly where Briggs was... But how did they know the layout of the town? [003] :{S} I doubt the Champa could have come up with that plan on their own... I'm not even sure that strange boat we found up north is even theirs... {M} It's not like the Champa to plan out elaborate strategies... I think the two raids were entirely coincidental. [004] :{S} The Champa were swarming over the village... But I screamed like the dickens and scared 'em off! It's true! Heh! {M} When I saw those Champa, I was so surprised that I let out a yelp... I must have startled them, because they all ran away! [005] :{S} Maybe we'll learn Briggs's whereabouts from that captured Champa. {M} That Champa in the cell looks a bit pale for a pirate... I thought pirates were supposed to be all tan and leathery... [Weapon] :{S} After the Champa opened the jail cells, they came over here... All of us merchants grabbed our own swords and started fighting... {M} The item vendor got wounded in the attack... She's still recovering. I don't think her boyfriend will ever forgive that man in the jail cell... [Armor] :{S} Ow. Ow. Ow... I think I got a bone bruise. I hate those... {M} Those lousy Champa... Next time I see them, they'll be the ones with the bruises! [Item Sis]:{S} My sister was hurt when the Champa attacked... She's recovering, but I sure hope Shin gets the guy who did it. {M} Briggs and his men are horrid. Imagine, hitting a woman... When I think about it, I just get so angry! [006] :{S} That big wave moved the whole continent of Indra to the south. Now, we're sandwiched between the two continents of Gondowan and Osenia. {M} If a big wave can move the whole continent of Indra... Does that mean that all of Indra is just floating on the water? [007] :{S} It's like all three continents got together to form a supercontinent! [sic] {M} Now, Madra is pinned between two continents! People from Gondowan can walk here to visit! What fun! [008] :{S} If I could walk to Osenia, I'd like to see Air's Rock, out near Garoh. {M} I've always wanted to see Air's Rock... but Garoh is such a long way away... [009] :{S} Did you come here over the Dehkan Plateau? Yeah? You must have seen that boat grounded near the cave, right? -------------------------------------------- -(Yes) I hear it was a Champa boat! And on it, they found an unconscious Champa! So they nabbed him, of course, and they tossed him in our jail! -(No) You didn't? Weird... I wonder if it drifted away... -------------------------------------------- {M} Who was it who told me the Champa boat was damaged? Doesn't matter... But I bet Briggs went to Osenia to find himself a new boat. [010] :{S} Let me guess... You want a boat, right? Look, like I told that last guy, the tidal wave went and ruined all our boats! {M} It's a bit of a problem that the tidal wave destroyed our boats.. But the tidal wave sort of solved the problem, too... Now, all three continents are wedged together, and we don't really need boats. [011] :{S} The town elder took off to deal with Briggs... I wonder where he is now. {M} Everyone thinks Briggs fled to the east after the breakout... I think that must be where the elder went with the others. [012] :{S} We took that unconscious guy from the boat and tossed him in jail. He keeps saying that he's not a Champa, though. {M} I looked into that man's eyes. He looked so serene and calm... No with such pretty eyes could be a liar. [013] :{S} I don't care what the elder says... That prisoner is filthy Champa scum! Until someone proves otherwise, I say, let him rot! {M} I'll never forgive those dogs for what they've done to our village. * - Prison entrance: Guard 3 :{S} My partner was guarding the prison... When the Champa attacked, he was so scared, he ran off. Disgraceful! {M} I miss my partner... It's a shame he turned tail and ran like that... But who knows? Maybe I would have done the same thing in his place. Guard 4 :{S} My friend was on guard duty when Briggs's men attacked... Who would let a menace like Briggs go free? {M} I wonder how many of the raiders were actually Champa. Man 1 :{S} Was I just dreaming when that shaft of ice appeared? -------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Yeah! That's what it was... It was all just a dream... -(No) What!? Oh! Oh... You're just... You're joking with me, right? Yeah... joking... -------------------------------------------- {M} It was all just a dream... If I keep on saying it, maybe I'll believe it... Shin :{S} Even if we tried to tell someone what we saw... Who would believe us!? I think I'll just guard him from out here, where it's safe. {M} My sore bottom tells me it was all real... But I'm not about to say that out loud... [ Buildings ] Innkeeper1:{S} Earthquakes, pirate attacks... What a week! {M} The new land bridges between the continents should bring more business. Innkeeper2:{S} Our inn is quite safe... The Champa themselves couldn't fight their way in! {M} Actually, I think it was just that the Champa knew we didn't have anything worth stealing. I wonder how they knew... Employee :{S} I hope those Champa don't come back for a rematch... {M} No one was safe from the Champa... not even innocent women! I should learn to defend myself! [014] :{S} I slept right through the pirate raid! It's too bad, too. I would have given those pirates the thumping of a lifetime! {M} I was hiding under my bed the whole time... But I'm not about to tell him that! [015] :{S} I'm glad my partner and I weren't injured when the Champa attacked. {M} We were fine because our karma is good. Only people with bad karma got hurt, I'll bet... ----- [016] :{S} Madra and Alhafra, off in Osenia, have a long history together... Alhafra's a thriving seaport, up on the northern coast. {M} Alhafra has long been a trade partner with Madra. I should go there one day... It's such an easy trip from North Osenia... [017] :{S} In all this chaos, everyone here has clean forgotten about Alhafra... Sure, it's all the way in Osenia, but they're bound to have a boat or two. {M} Wait a second...I'll bet Briggs is heading to Alhafra! Of course! That'd be the place to go if you were looking for a boat! ----- [Item] :{S} * - She is lying in a bed. Ohh... Ohhh... {M} Eyes... Shining in the darkness... No! Go away!!! ----- [018] :{S} Everything happened so suddenly... The earth moved, and every- thing fell down... It's going to take me forever to clean up... {M} Everything's on the floor, and all my dishes are broken. What a chore! [019] :{S} A wave big enough to move a continent is a terrible portent... Could the legendary beast of the deep have awakened? {M} If the mythical sea creature has awakened, we're all in trouble.. The legends say that only one armed with an enchanted trident can kill it. ----- [020] :{S} The boat that ran aground in the cove out east looks like a normal ship, almost... But I'm not sure a boat like that can even sail. {M} It didn't even have any oars! How does it move? I don't get it. [021] :{S} They say that boat belongs to the Champa... But I keep telling them, that boat looks like no Champa ship I've seen. {M} That boat's far sturdier and far more sleek than any Champa could build. ----- Healer :{S} Surely, this town is enduring some sort of test... We must not fail... {M} How could one explain a continent moving? Surely, it is the work of a greater power... [022] :{S} We must pass this test. Now is the time to be strong! Come, join hands, and let us give thanks. {M} If this is a test, please give us a sign. We are your flock... Do with us as you will... [023] :{S} A wave that moves the very earth... This is no act of man... But certain forces do move in mysterious ways... {M} The raid was just another part of the test. It must have been. ----- [024] :{S} Indra is in direct contact with southern Gondowan... Will it be safe? -------------------------------------------- -(Yes) You're just trying to make me feel better, but you don't have a clue, do you? -(No) Listen, we don't need you running around getting folks worked up! Buzz off! -------------------------------------------- {M} They say there are people who use a frightening kind of magic in Gondowan... I don't know if it's true, but it's absolutely terrifying! [025] :{S} The lands to the south of Gondowan are full of barbarians, I'm told. {M} The Kibombo are warlike, but they live far off in the center of Gondowan... I can't imagine they'd come all the way out here... ----- * - Elder and mayor's residence: Note: The mayor is the elder's son. Mayor Wife:{S} Milady and I have been told to guard that jewel on the mantel. * - She is referring to the elder's daughter. {M} I wish I knew why the elder wanted us to protect this thing... Elder Dau :{S} My father was opposed to arresting the man we found on the boat.. But the townspeople were in an uproar about the Champa, and they locked him up. {M} Until my father returns, I'll protect this gem with my life. Mayor Son :{S} Dad and Grandpa have gone to Osenia to look for Briggs... {M} If Dad has to fight, I wonder if he'll go... Mayor Dau :{S} Whenever Dad goes on trips, he brings back presents! I wonder what he'll bring back this time... {M} I hope he brings me a nice doll. I want a wooden one! Elder Wife:{S} When the elder gets back, I'm sure he will prove that young man innocent. {M} He intends to find Briggs and prove that young man's innocence. * - When examining the jewel on the mantel, which bears a striking resemblance to the Black Orb that controls Babi's Lemurian ship: Mayor Wife: Don't tough that gem! The elder gave us strict orders to protect it! [ Madra Catacombs ] * - Before being examined by the guards, a man pops up from the hole outside of the town walls. [026] :{S} You comin' through here? ----------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Yeah, well... We're workin' in the hole right now, so... Until we're done here, you're gonna have to enter Madra through the gates. -(No) That's good, 'cause we can't let anyone through right now. If you're goin' to Madra, you're gonna have to go through the front gates. ----------------------------------------------- {M} The Champa dug this hole when they raided our town, but there's more to it... The hole they dug uncovered a cave that runs all the way under our town! * - After being examined by the guards, the man goes further into the catacombs. [026] :{S} I can't believe the Champa just stumbled onto this cave accident- ally... That's like winning the lottery or something! {M} Who dug this cave? And why? * - Near the other entrance to the catacombs: [027] :{S} I got someone to show me around inside... It's just a really big hole. Nobody could dig that much in such a short time without us noticing, you'd think... {M} I'm not sure the Champa actually dug this hole... #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# #$#$#$#$#$#$#$ $#$#$#$#$#$#$# #$# [02'08] --- [Indra] --- [02'08] #$# #$#$# Madra Drawbridge #$#$# #$#$#$#$#$#$#$ $#$#$#$#$#$#$# #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# $# Without permission to cross #$ #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# * - Upon approaching the bridge: Guard 2 : if you wanna cross here, you'll need permission from the town elder!

But try to cross illegally, and we'll throw you in the hoosegow with Mr. Bluehair! {M} I'm startin' to wonder when the elder and the others'll come back from Osenia. Guard 2 :{S} You goin' to Osenia? -------------------------------------------- -(Yes) You'll have to head back to town and get a permit! Just go to the elder's house and ask real nice-like. -(No) Then get lost, pal.

You'll see it eventually. * - Social Script: Guard 1 :{S} If you try heading straight through Osenia to Alhafra, you'll hit Yampi Desert. You'd be better off avoiding the desert and just following the coast to Alhafra instead. {M} These guys must be looking for trouble. Me, I'd rather stay home and relax. It's so pleasant and comfortable. And safe. Guard 2 :{S} Head to Southeast Osenia, and you'll hit Mikasalla. It's a small village, though.

That wave must have been gigantic... I wonder how many Champa died in the wreck... {M} They still had enough men to dig that hole and attack Madra. And enough to form two attack parties, too... [003] :{S} Wait, if this is the Champa ship, then that must mean Piers isn't a Champa! So... why does the elder still need Briggs to clear his name? {M} Briggs must be trying to get a new ship in Alhafra.

"M." = Madran "MEG" = Madran elder's group [MEG#5] : Can't we just forget about Briggs? M. Elder : No. I'm not about to quit looking for him. There must be some way through this desert! We must press onward! This is where my son must prove himself as mayor... So, Son. How are you planning to get us through this desert and on to Alhafra? M. Elder :{S} So, Son. How are you planning to get us through this desert and on to Alhafra? {M} My son is in quite a fix, but I'm not going to help him. Only by overcoming adversity can he ever hope to become a strong leader. M. Mayor :{S} Father, how am I supposed to get us through the desert? I think you're overestimating my abilities. {M} My father's always telling me to overcome adversity, but he never tells me how! I don't understand why we can't just go home and forget about Alhafra. [MEG#3] :{S} Ooooh... This desert... It's so hot out here! I feel dizzy! {M} Sure, it's hot. But it's a dry heat... and I can't stand it! I want to go somewhere cool and just relax! [MEG#4] :{S} Water... My throat is so parched! *Gasp!* ...It's no use... {M} There's a spring over there, but we can't reach it... I hear Fate mocking us. [MEG#5] :{S} As you can see, the elder is quite insistent on finding a way through. He feels the only way to Alhafra is through this desert... {M} We've reached a dead end... I just want to go home to Madra. [MEG#6] :{S} We followed the pirates here from Madra... Are you going to Alhafra, too? -------------------------------------------- -(Yes) I don't think you can get there through the desert...You probably should've crossed the bridge you passed on the way here. -(No) You guys are lucky. We've gotta find some way through this desert. -------------------------------------------- {M} Briggs and the Champa are nowhere to be seen. [MEG#7] :{S} If that accursed pirate Briggs hadn't smashed the bridge, we wouldn't be here! Maybe we won't find him, but I promise you Piers will pay the price for him! {M} That Piers is SO one of the Champa... We don't need Briggs to prove it. When we get back home, he's gonna pay for helping Briggs. * - Upon traversing to the ledge above the group: [MEG#7] : Hey! Look! Up there! How did those guys get up there? [MEG#4] : Maybe there's path up ahead that we missed... * - The mayor takes of running, looking for the path. [MEG#7] : Maybe... Maybe we can get through the desert after all! [MEG#6] : We can find a way through to Alhafra! [MEG#3] : I don't care where we go, as long as it's cool. * - The mayor shouts from a bit away. M. Mayor : Hey! I found it! I found a way through! * - The group heads towards the mayor's location. Following him, they manage to arrive at the oasis that they previously thought was unreachable. M. Elder :{S} My son... has passed his first test as mayor. I'll have to congratulate him. Eventually. Now, to see if his luck holds up. {M} Regardless of what happens next, know that you have done well, my son. M. Mayor :{S} If we remain here much longer, Briggs will be beyond our reach... We have to press on just a little farther... {M} Hooo... I can't believe we're going to all this trouble for a stranger... I'm still not convinced that Piers isn't one of Briggs's henchmen... [MEG#3] :{S} I'm just glad we're finally able to rest. It doesn't feel like my brain is on fire anymore... {M} Maybe we should have the mayor go on ahead while we rest here... [MEG#4] :{S} Oh, man! This is the best water I've ever tasted! Yowza! {M} I don't want to leave! At least let me fill up on water before we go. [MEG#5] :{S} Osenia is so much larger than I'd thought... I wonder how much farther it is to Alhafra. {M} How much longer will we be walking, anyway? I feel like we've walked off the edge of the world as it is... [MEG#6] :{S} At last, we can get through this accursed desert! Except that the elder and the others need to rest before we go. {M} Oh, not again! Don't tell me they want to rest again! [MEG#7] :{S} I was certain this was a dead end. What's wrong with this desert? This is only delaying Piers's punishment... {M} My job is to find evidence that Piers is a Champa.

[MEG#5] : Haaa hoo hooo... Are we... here? I fee like I just walked 500 miles. I'm fine... I feel like I could walk 500 more! * - The Madran mayor and elder arrive. M. Mayor : So... is this Alhafra? Madra's a pretty big place, but this town is huge! M. Elder : We didn't come to Alhafra to shop, Mister Mayor. We're here to bring in Briggs the Champa. M. Mayor : I know that! M. Elder : Then we should go straight to speak with Alhafra's mayor. [MEG#7] : We're in no shape to go present ourselves to the mayor right now! * - [MEG#6] looks around. [MEG#6] : Look, Briggs is obviously not here, and besides, we already know Piers is-- M. Elder : Silence! * - The elder notices damaged walls near the sea. M. Elder : It seems Alhafra has felt the effects of the tidal wave as well... [MEG#3] : It looks like they suffered a good deal of damage... M. Elder : That would explain why Alhafra doesn't seem to have any boats for sale, either! [MEG#5] : You know, just looking around, I get the impression they only had one boat to begin with! M. Elder : So if you really needed a boat, the only way to get one would be to steal it. Hmmm... But wouldn't that cause quite an uproar? M. Mayor : ...Which means the pirates must still be here, trying to get a boat! [MEG#7] : So, you think we've actually caught up with Briggs? [MEG#6] : No doubt about it! M. Elder : That's why I want to meet the mayor of Alhafra before the Champa steal a ship. M. Mayor : Oh yeah... I get it now. In that case, let's go see Alhafra's mayor right away. * - A man walks by. M. Mayor : Um... Say, excuse me... Where would we find the mayor of Alhafra? Man : Uh...The mayor? Just keep going down this road. It's the last house.

I had suspected we might run into each other again, since we both are looking for boats. Unfortunately, the only boat this town possesses has already been sold. I will be resting here in Alhafra a bit longer. I have traveled long and hard, and I am weary. Perhaps we can get along at least until we both depart. * - Speaking to him again: Alex :{S} The broken mast on the ship they sold won't be easily fixed. That is, as long as we Adepts don't do anything about it. {M} Really, I do wish you would quit using your Mind Read on me...

A large stone sits atop the tip of the mast. A wooden crate has fallen onto the sail. A wooden log sits partially on the boat and partially on the mast. Pirate 1 : It's... It's no use! The mast just won't budge, no matter how many people we get to help us! Pirate 3 : We're going to have to get all this junk off the mast first. If we could just get some decent footing, we could have this thing clear in no time! Pirate 2 : There's more to it than that, though... Pirate 4 : We still have to do something about that rope over there. Pirate 3 : Untangling that'll be a piece of cake, once we get a boat we can use... Pirate 1 : Oh, yeah... A piece of cake... Except for that huge rock over there! Pirate 3 : Oh yeah... The rock... Pirate 4 : How are we supposed to get the mast out from under that thing? It's huge!

This is the largest town in western Osenia... You can find anything you need here! ...Unless you need a boat, that is... {M} This guy's probably wondering about that boat sitting down at the pier... It still floats, but I don't think the thing can move... [002] :{S} A massive tidal wave hit us and destroyed every ship in Alhafra. {M} Losing out boats was awful... But I feel so bad for all the people whose houses were destroyed by the tidal wave. [003] :{S} Right after my boat got crushed, a group of men came by asking if I had one for sail. They were pretty swarthy, like they might have been sailors or something. {M} Those guys looking for a boat sure were in a hurry. I wonder why... Hey, at least I was able to unload that boat with the busted mast on them. [004] :{S} I hear the tidal wave knocked Indra into Osenia. Is that true? -------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Really? It's just so hard to believe, you know? Still, that would explain the massive jolt we felt right after the tidal wave hit. -(No) I was hoping a traveler like you might have a better idea of what happened... Oh well... -------------------------------------------- {M} I just can't believe a single tidal wave could cause an entire continent to move like that. But I used to be able to see Indra to the north of us, and it's definitely not there... [005] :{S} Those men didn't look like they were from Osenia... I wonder what business they have in Alhafra... {M} If this guy's looking to buy a boat, he's looking in the wrong town... I already sold the last boat in town, and it had a broken mast! [006] :{S} Those people that just came through looked totally exhausted. You don't suppose they passed through Yampi Desert to get here, do you? {M} Who would come to Alhafra across the Yampi Desert? It's way too dangerous! Anyone with half a brain would've just taken the bridge to the northwest... * - [007] is guarding the entrance to a cave. [007] :{S} No one is allowed beyond this point. Don't even think about it. {M} The mayor said no one goes through, and I mean to make sure no one goes through! [Armor] :{S} That tidal wave may well wash out both my business and the weapon shopkeeper's! {M} It doesn't matter how well-crated a suit of armor is... If you soak it in seawater, it's junk. All my furs are ruined... All my steels is rusted. It's nothing but garbage now... [Weapon] :{S} We were hit by a wave so strong that it swept homes off their foundations! What's worse is, all my best weapons were washed out to sea! {M} Losing all my most expensive items may well ruin my business entirely... [008] :{S} Our port was ruined by the tidal wave, so kids aren't allowed there anymore... But all I want to do is just see what kind of wind is blowing in off the sea... {M} I don't know why they won't let us kids go down to see the dock.. I wanna see what kind of damage the tidal wave did! [009] :{S} We've had a lot of strangers coming through here lately. {M} This tidal wave's actually been good for Alhafra. The town is bustling with activity... I think I'll steer clear of those swarthy men at the wharf, though... They're a scary lot! [010] :{S} Let me guess... You're here because you want to buy a canoe, right? -------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Sorry, but I'm totally backlogged with preorders. I'm gonna be up late finishing these as it is... -(No) That's good, because I've got a ton of work to do already... And then I have to head down to the wharf and help clean up the wreck... -------------------------------------------- {M} We can't raise the mast until we get rid of the debris. But I can't help get rid of the debris until I finish at least this one last canoe! [011] :{S} That boat at the wharf uses a sail, so it's more efficient than any galley. But since the mast is broken, it's not going any- where. What a waste. {M} I still can't believe those guys wanted to buy my busted boat! One man's junk... [012] :{S} Why would the mayor go and sell our boat to a bunch of foreigners? I know it's got a broken mast, but come on! {M} It may be newfangled, but it's no good if it's broken. Forget technology! I'm sticking with boats with oars! No masts for me! [013] :{S} The only boat spared by the tidal wave is that newfangled ship that catches wind in a sail... The thing is... the mast that holds up the sail got snapped apart! {M} I wonder if my partner has finished up that canoe yet... The sooner he finishes, the sooner we can clean things up down at the jetty. [ Mayor's residence ] Guard 1 :{S} Listen, you look like an OK guy, and I'd love to let you through, but I just can't... I mean, if I let you in, then I'd have to let everyone in, right? I'm sorry, but it wouldn't be fair. {M} My partner's always in such a bad mood... Maybe I should bake him a cake... Guard 2 :{S} Did you want to see the mayor? -------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Sorry, but he's meeting with some visitors from Madra right now.. Maybe you can see him once he's finished with them. -(No) The mayor is very open to meeting visitors, but he's in an important meeting now... So it's probably good that you're not here to see him... -------------------------------------------- {M} I hate my job. I always have to be so tough and secretive around people. Deep down inside, all I really want to do is read them some of my poetry... [ Buildings ] Innkeeper1:{S} Maybe you've noticed, but a lot of folk here lost their homes in the wave, but I don't mind them. {M} I never imagined anyone from Alhafra would ever stay at my inn. Innkeeper2:{S} You see how full our inn is? You'd think we'd be making money hand over fist... But that's not true... We just don't have the heart to charge the people who lost their homes. {M} Perhaps the mayor will cover the cost of lodging everyone so we can feed them a decent meal. We're just trying to be helpful, but we're the ones who end up looking cheap. Chef :{S} The innkeeper told me to use only the cheapest ingredients to help save money. {M} I can't believe I'm only supposed to feed the villagers vegetable dishes. [014] :{S} The town ought to give money to all the people who suffered from the tidal wave... That way, maybe the innkeeper could afford to make us better food... {M} I bet the master of the inn could afford to give us better food than he's been giving us. [015] :{S} We're all guests in the same inn, so why is my meal so awful? At the very least, they should let us go back for seconds of that stinking slop! {M} I think I've lost weight form all these vegetables! Sure, I'm looking skinnier than ever, but something tells me this just isn't healthy. [016] :{S} I don't think I've had a bite of meat or fish ever since setting foot in this inn. {M} *Sniff sniff* That smell! That's the smell of fish... No! Now I'm drooling! [017] :{S} Ohhh... I'm hungry... My tummy hurts... When's dinnertime? {M} Maybe I'm just hungry, but everything they put in front of me looks delicious. I'm so hungry I could eat my own hand... [018] :{S} The innkeeper serves his paying guests better meals than we Alhafrans get. That's so cheap! I want gourmet meals, too! {M} Maybe it's 'cause all we've been eating is vegetables, but I just never seem to fill up. [019] :{S} I can't believe the innkeeper is renting out more rooms when we're as busy as this. {M} I can't believe the innkeeper is cramming all those poor people into that tiny room. He certainly can't badmouth the mayor... they're both stingy! [020] :{S} We all have to bear the discomfort of this place until our homes are repaired. {M} When you're living packed in together like this, you're bound to get on each other's nerves. I just hope everything goes back to normal once we move back into our own homes. [021] :{S} I heard there's only one person staying in the room next door. Can't they just move one more person into that room? Like me? {M} That warrior next door is so suave and handsome, just how I like 'em. I hope we can be friends. [022] :{S} I'll never forgive the mayor for failing to come to our aid when we were all suffering... I wonder what I can do to make him suffer... {M} I hope the mayor's treasure room doesn't run too close to the prison... If those thieves found out about it, they'd dig their way out in no time flat! [023] :{S} Our guests are very upset with the mayor. I just hope they don't do anything... rash... {M} I know our mayor's bad, but he wouldn't stoop to stealing from his own people, would he? [024] :{S} Why do we all have to be cooped up in such a small room? How am I supposed to sleep with Grandpa grinding his teeth all night? {M} I think they put me next to Grandpa so they wouldn't have to listen to him grind his teeth. [025] :{S} My pop's been lookin' around, an' he says the mayor keeps all his treasure underground. He says it's south of the palace, but that's all I know about it. {M} Everyone says the hill beneath the mayor's mansion is full of tunnels. I wonder if that's true. ----- [026] :{S} We're taking care of some people whose house was destroyed by the tidal wave. But... they're just so demanding! My wife feels so overwhelmed that she can't take it anymore! {M} I just wish that old man would stop pestering my wife all the time! [027] :{S} Augh! With all these demanding houseguests, I feel like I've lost control of my own house! {M} I don't mind helping people in need, but I won't be taken advantage of... * - When speaking to [028] or [029] for the first time: [028] : Aren't you thirsty, my dear?
