Tasim is the soldier's companion. Private Cob is a soldier Ignis Arachnid is a spider. [1/3] Captain Enduyn: At ease, soldier! Not much to see here, I'm afraid. {normally} [2/3] Captain Enduyn: I've been stationed here to keep an eye on the spiders' nest, but they don't seem to be causing too much trouble outside of their den. [3/3] Captain Enduyn: If you'd like to help, I'd suggest speaking to Admiral Aegis in Detlas. He'll be able to give you an assignment. {explaining} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/9] Admiral Aegis: Let's see... ah, soldier! There you are. I was just about to send someone to fetch you. {normally} [2/9] Admiral Aegis: Our preparations are complete, and it's time for the assault on Nivla's spider den! With you here, we'll just need to wait for-... {explaining} [3/9] Aledar: Admiral- we're here! Sorry we're late, we were sparring in the training room and lost track of time... {sheepishly} [4/9] Tasim: If soldier is here, I take it that means today is the day we strike at the spiders? {excited} [5/9] Admiral Aegis: Indeed it is. Now, you three are to be the force which will fight through their den and clear out as many of those spiders as you can. For that, you'll need support. {explaining} [6/9] Admiral Aegis: We've sent out several soldiers ahead of time to make preparations on site. You'll want to first speak to Private Cob on the Black Road, who will have supplies for you. {explaining} [7/9] Admiral Aegis: I expect this mission will hold some danger, but I trust the three of you will be able to deal with anything you come across. Good luck, soldiers! {explaining} [8/9] Tasim: Yes, sir. We'll do our best. {normally} [9/9] Aledar: These spiders won't stand a chance! Let's get going. {excited} [1/1] Admiral Aegis: You'll want to start by speaking to Private Cob on the Black Road. He'll have supplies for you to bring along with you. {explaining} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/9] Private Cob: 'ey there, chaps! You lot must be the spider killin' force, eh? [2/9] Aledar: That's us! The Admiral told us you had supplies to give us? [3/9] Private Cob: That I do! Now, 'fore I send ya off, there's been sum news from the Cap'n! [4/9] Private Cob: Buncha terrorised citizens been found right next to the bloomin' den! Trapped in a sticky old web, they were. [5/9] Private Cob: Priority number one is gettin' them out, before takin' on the den. But nothin' can get through the web! [6/9] Private Cob: No fire, no magic... nothin' has broken through. The cap'n decided- 'ey, why not try some lava? 's hotter than fire, anyway. [7/9] Private Cob: Point is. Along with all your supplies 'n whatnot, ya've gotta bring along some lava for the cap'n. Magically contained, o' course! [8/9] Tasim: Sure, that sounds easy enough. A bit of extra work, but we were heading in that direction anyway. [9/9] Private Cob: That's the spirit! If ya want the best route to the den, follow that road with the burn marks. It'll send ya straight to the cap'n! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/16] Captain Enduyn: At ease, soldiers! You're the three Aegis told me to look out for, aren't you? Have you spoken to Cob yet? {normally} [2/16] Tasim: We have, and we've brought supplies. As well as... lava, I think? {normally} [3/16] Captain Enduyn: Ah, good! You can see the pickle we're in, hmm? We've tried everything to get these poor souls out, but the damnned web is like glue! [4/16] Captain Enduyn: Now, let's see here... If I cast a spell on it like this, then... {thoughtfully} [5/16] Captain Enduyn: ...Hm. That's not good. {disappointed} [6/16] Aledar: So, what do we do now? You mentioned another option- what was that about? What about it made it difficult? {worried} [7/16] Captain Enduyn: Right. You may have noticed on your way here, but the nest is at the base of Mt. Wynn, a dormant volcano. {explaining} [8/16] Captain Enduyn: Legends speak of incredible magic granted by the mountain- that of protection, incinerating any who dare go against it. {explaining, darkly} [9/16] Captain Enduyn: These are only stories, of course. It's very unlikely the mountain actually could grant such magic. However... there may be some truth in the legend. {explaining} [10/16] Aledar: So what's the catch? You would have tried this first if it were that simple. {suspiciously} [11/16] Captain Enduyn: The mountain is infested with spiders, even more so than Nivla Woods. Our few attempts of scouting it out have shown that they're incredibly hostile towards intruders. {explaining} [12/16] Tasim: As though they're protecting something, I assume? {thoughtfully} [13/16] Captain Enduyn: Indeed. So, here's the plan... If you enter the mountain, the spiders will quickly try to move inside to stop you. I'll need one of you to stay here with me to fight them off. {normally} [14/16] Aledar: So two of us take on the volcano, and two stay behind. Got it! soldier, you should be part of the Mount Wynn group. But then, Tasim, which of us should go with them? {excitedly} [15/16] Tasim: Why don't we let soldier decide? Which of us do you want to join you in the volcano? {normally} [16/16] Captain Enduyn: Then take more time. But don't take too long- we don't want the spiders to realize we're planning something. {worried} [16/16] Tasim: Alright. We'll fight through the spiders in the mountain, then. Captain, Aledar, good luck! {excitedly} [16/16] Aledar: Alright! We'll handle the volcano then. Captain, Tasim, don't die out here! {excitedly} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/2] Tasim: So, who do you want to join you to fight through Mount Wynn? {curiously} [2/2] Aledar: Alright! We'll handle the volcano then. Captain, Tasim, don't die out here! {excitedly} [2/2] Tasim: Alright. We'll fight through the spiders in the mountain, then. Captain, Aledar, good luck! {excitedly} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Aledar: Let's get going, soldier! We'll want to get to the summit as quickly as we can. {determined} [1/1] Tasim: We should get moving, soldier. I don't want to make those two fight more spiders than they need to. {concerned} [1/1] Captain Enduyn: We're counting on you, soldier! Go climb that volcano! The cave entrance is not far from here. {encouraging} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Aledar: ...Wow, it's hot in here! That makes sense, I guess, given what we're here for. Let's reach the top as quickly as we can. {suprised} [1/2] Aledar: W-woah! You felt that too, right? What's going- {worried} [2/2] Aledar: We've got to run for it! Come on, jump! {hurriedly} [1/1] Aledar: That... that was a close one. Phew! Can't believe we made it out in one piece. I think we're near the top, too. {relieved} [1/4] Aledar: Well, here we are! ...The heat's gotten more intense up here. Come on, let's find what we're looking for, before I over- {normally} [2/4] ???: ...intruders....come to take....sacred protection.... {angrily} //Ignis Arachnid [3/4] ???: .....must not......allow.....will kill.....for queen!.... {angrily} //Ignis Arachnid [4/4] Aledar: Ack! We should have known it wouldn't be that easy. Alright, let's take down this spider and get what we came for! {suprised} [1/3] Aledar: Well, there it is. We have what we need to burn through those webs!... I hope. {relieved} [2/3] Aledar: The spider mentioned a queen... I guess that's what we'll be facing in their nest, then. {worried} [3/3] Aledar: Alright, let's get back to Tasim and the captain! {normally} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Tasim: ...I can hear the spiders already. We'll need to fight through them if we want to reach the top. Let's get going, we don't want to take too long. {worried| [1/2] Tasim: H-huh? That shaking, it's almost like- {shocked} [2/2] Tasim: What are those spiders doing!? soldier, come on, we need to move! {anxiously} [1/1] Tasim: ...That was closer than it should have been. The spiders must be real desperate to protect whatever it is they have up here, huh? Let's keep going. {worriedly} [1/4] Tasim: It was a tough climb, but we made it... It's, uh, very hot up here. So- what was it we were looking for- {relieved} [4/4] Tasim: Of course it wouldn't be that easy... Alright, soldier, let's do what we came here for. Let's claim that magic, and burn through the webs! {excitedly} [1/3] Tasim: I guess that's that taken care of. We'll be able to burn through that web and save the villagers! {relieved} [2/3] Tasim: You heard the spider mention a queen, right? We'll probably have to defeat it in its nest to stop the spiders, once and for all. {determined} [3/3] Tasim: We should get going back down the mountain. We don't want to keep Aledar and the Captain waiting. {normally} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/6] Captain Enduyn: You've returned! I trust you found something that can help us get through these webs? {excitedly} [2/6] Aledar: We did! We fought off a spider at the summit, and claimed a magical flame. {explaining, satisfied} [3/6] Captain Enduyn: Excellent! Now, give it here. Let's see if we can't get these villagers free... watch out, folks! It might get a little warm for a moment... {normally} [4/6] Tasim: That's why we're here, yes. We'll deal with this spider problem once and for all. {normally} [5/6] Captain Enduyn: Great work, soldiers. With these villagers out we can turn our focus to the main den. {explaining} [6/6] Captain Enduyn: If you're prepared, I don't see any reason to hold back. Good luck in there, soldiers! Let's stop this spider blight once and for all. {ordering} [2/6] Tasim: We did, yes. There was a powerful spider at the peak, which was making use of this magical flame. {explaining} [4/6] Aledar: Yep, we do! The Admiral sent us here with that mission, and we'll do our best to complete it. {excitedly} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/2] Captain Enduyn: Here we go! {satisfied} [2/2] Captain Enduyn: Now head on in and finish off these pests! {encouraging}
