Story Dialogue

You're tired. Go to a nearby Inn or Dormitory.

If you visit the Dormitory: Dolores ...Uh, excuse me. Are you all right? [[File:{{{npc}}} (NPC Icon).png|text-bottom|35px]] [[{{{npc}}}]] Select 'I'm fine.' Dolores Oh, good! I tried to talk to you earlier, but you just kept smacking and muttering in your sleep. I'm glad you're finally up, because there's a message from Colhen for you. It seems pretty important... Dolores Oh, are you leaving? That's too bad. It was nice having you around. If you visit the White Whale Inn: ... File:Question (NPC Icon).png Question 'If you could relive your life, knowing that you would one day lose everything, would you still make the same choices? Is that what we call "destiny"? ... (The inn is calm, filled only by the quiet sound of ocean waves crashing on the distant shore.) Simone Excuse me, dearie? I was hoping I'd find you here. You got a letter from your friends in the Crimson Blades. [[File:{{{npc}}} (NPC Icon).png|text-bottom|35px]] [[{{{npc}}}]] Reward: Crimson Blades Order File:Letter (NPC Icon).png Letter Calling all Crimson Blades, The Royal Army has proclaimed total war against the Fomors. All Crimson Blades must report to Colhen immediately upon receipt of this message. -Captain Aodhan Simone I guess this means you're gonna leave. It's too bad. The island life suits you, I think. You come back when you're done saving the world, yes? (You must return to Colhen.) If you visit the Colhen Inn: Seanna (A soft hand rests on your shoulder, jolting you awake.) Haha, I'm so sorry, <Evie>. You must be exhausted You fell asleep sitting up. I'm only waking you because I met a soldier on the way back from the Temple. He left me with this message for you. That would explain the fracas I saw earlier. The Royal Army and Crimson Blade soldiers were all arguing. It was quite a mess, but I'm sure you can help them sort it out. See you later! (You'd better head to the Mercenary Outpost.)

Go to the Mercenary Outpost in Colhen.

(You walk in on a heated argument.) Riordan You are in violation of the Pontiff's will. I knew we should never have trusted you lawless vermin. Marrec You're the ones trying to twist our agreement. We were supposed to provide you with backup, nothing more. Riordan Cadet Leader Blawynn. Does the contract contain this clause? Blawynn No, sir. No such clause is present. Marrec You lying--this was a verbal contract! You can't rearrange the terms to suit your whims. We had a deal. Riordan The Royal Army is under no obligation to bend to the convenience of its hirelings. You will do as you are told. Marrec How dare you?! Aodhan ...Marrec. Enough. Marrec But-- Aodhan There seems to have been a misunderstanding, Captain Riordan. I will inform the unit of our new assignment. Riordan Good. This holy war will be the Pontiff's legacy. You would do well to stand on the right side of history. Marrec Damn it! Blawynn The Captain's standing order calls for all veteran mercenaries to aid in the assault on Fobellow Prairie. Any rookies or troops of lower standing should be sent to Rocheste for guard duty. Aodhan I understand well enough. Blawynn This draft...this request for reinforcement is a stress for us all. We appreciate your support... Marrec Captain, this is absurd! We were told we would be backing up the army's raid. Now they want us on the vanguard? We're not equip-- Aodhan It's our fault for not being more specific in the contract. If only I could find the soldier I made the deal with in the first place... At least <Evie> will be safe. Marrec <Evie> shouldn't be exempt from fighting any more than the rest of us. We need all the help we can get. Ceara (Ceara is the first to notice you standing there. Ah, <Evie>! You're here! Marrec ... Gallagher Great, just who we needed... Aodhan Be quiet. (Aodhan scans the room with a searching gaze.) I see a lot of pale faces. Are you all afraid? The Fomors would kill us all if we let them. They would burn our homes and build a new land upon our ashes. If we aren't willing to stand up and fight for our lives, they will stand up and fight for our destruction. I say, it is better to take this chance and crush them all. Yes, this will be dangerous. Yes, we may die. But we will win. And when we do, paradise will be ours. Crimson Blades. Today is our day. Pack your things. We're on the road to Rocheste in an hour! [[File:{{{npc}}} (NPC Icon).png|text-bottom|35px]] [[{{{npc}}}]] Select 'Yes, Captain!' File:Mercenaries (NPC Icon).png Mercenaries Yes, Captain! Ceara All of you come back in one piece. I'll have a cold bottle of brandy ready for each of you. Marrec Better make that two... Ceara Stop sulking, Marrec. Maybe <Evie> will switch places with you if you whine loudly enough. (She flashes a bright smile as Marrec walks out grumbling.) Chin up!
