[1/1] Captain Ragon: Ah, hello. Welcome to the Detlas Barracks! Feel free to look around, but do try not to distract the soldiers. {welcoming} [1/4] Captain Ragon: Ah! You must be one of the new recruits the Admiral told me to look out for! What was it... soldier, yes? {welcoming} [2/4] Captain Ragon: You've done well to reach this city as quickly as you have, which must have required a great deal of fighting the undead. {impressed} [3/4] Captain Ragon: But the fact still stands that you lack experience. You can certainly fight, yes, but can you fight well? {challenging} [4/4] Captain Ragon: Lucky for you, that's where I come in. You're just in time for today's training session! Come here, follow me. {explaining} [2/4] Captain Ragon: Now, I've heard from Sergeant Van of your aid in his assault on our overtaken fort- which, good work, very well done... {impressed} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Tasim: Oh, hello soldier. Are you here for training as well? I've been honing my skills against these dummies, so that when we face corrupteds, I'll be ready! {determined} [1/7] Tasim: ...Oh! soldier, hello. Are you here for training as well? {suprised} [2/7] Captain Ragon: Ahem. Now, in front of you, you'll see five special training dummies. Each one finely imbued with elemental magic. You are aware of the elements, yes? There's five of them in total. {explaining} [3/7] Tasim: I am! The elements are... ? Fire, ? Air, ? Earth, ? Thunder, and... ? Water? {confidently} [4/7] Captain Ragon: That's right. And generally speaking, they're strong against each other in that order- ? Fire beats ? Air, ? Air beats ? Earth, and so on. {explaining} [5/7] Captain Ragon: Elemental weaknesses may vary based on the enemy, but that order holds true in most cases. {explaining} [6/7] Captain Ragon: Enemies will take more damage from elements they're weak to, and take less damage from elements they resist. This change to your damage is always a flat value, and it varies from enemy to enemy. {explaining} [7/7] Captain Ragon: Now. For training purposes, you'll be given an elemental weapon to try out on these training dummies. Take note of how each elemental defense and weakness affects your damage dealt. Speak to me once you feel you understand the concept. {explaining} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Captain Ragon: Well? Have you noted the effect of elemental defenses and weaknesses on your damage? {normally} [1/1] Captain Ragon: Go on, then. Just speak to me when you're ready to move on. {normally} [1/2] Tasim: Hm... So if I attack this one, I'll deal more ? Air and less ? Earth... {thoughtfully} [2/2] Tasim: Oh, hello. Don't mind me, I'm just trying to wrap my head around this all. {thoughtfully} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/9] Captain Ragon: Excellent. I'll take those training weapons back from the two of you. Any questions? {normally} [2/9] Tasim: I do have one. If our enemies are susceptible to the elements in this way, would that also apply to us? {concerned} [3/9] Captain Ragon: Ah, yes. A fine observation. Indeed, you are also bound to the rules of the elements. Elemental defenses and weaknesses from your equipment will affect you in the very same way. {explaining} [4/9] Captain Ragon: One final note before we move on from the elements- your weapon may not always be as effective against an enemy as you would like. {explaining} [5/9] Captain Ragon: However, you have another tool at your disposal in the form of your spells! Different spells will deal different elemental damage, even if your weapon does not use that element by default. {explaining} [6/9] Tasim: ...Oh! So my Bash spell will still deal ? Earth damage even if my weapon only uses ? Water, right? {thoughtfully} [7/9] Captain Ragon: Correct! Now, let's see... We have the two of you here. Why don't we have a friendly duel? A chance to test your battle skills in a safe environment. {encouraging} [8/9] Tasim: That sounds good to me! soldier, we've been traveling together for some time now... I can't say I haven't been curious to see how you fight. Let's see who comes out on top, shall we? {excitedly} [9/9] Tasim: Alright. I'll be waiting here when you're ready! {patiently} [9/9] Tasim: Alright! Let's do this! {excitedly} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/2] Tasim: There you are! Are you ready for our duel? {excitedly} [2/2] Tasim: Alright. I'll be waiting! {patiently} [2/2] Tasim: Alright! Let's see which of us is the better fighter! {excitedly} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/8] Tasim: Phew! That was a good fight. You did well, soldier. We'll have to do this again- and maybe we can get Aledar to join! {tired} [2/8] Captain Ragon: Yes, yes, fine work, the two of you. Now- {impressed} [3/8] Scout Evelyn: Captain! Captain Ragon! There's- there's corrupted forces! Advancing from Ancient Nemract! {scared} [4/8] Captain Ragon: Hm. And the Admiral is away... Very well. Mobilize the troops! We meet the forces at the north gate! {worried} [5/8] Tasim: Captain- we're capable fighters too. Let us come along and help fight off these undead! {determined} [6/8] Captain Ragon: Hm... As I see it, this is a fine opportunity for you to gain some firsthand experience! Very well. Prepare yourselves, and come to Detlas' north gate when you're ready. {normally} [7/8] Tasim: This is exciting! But... I'm a little bit nervous, still. {worried} [8/8] Tasim: ... We'll be alright. Come on, let's go follow the Captain. {normally} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Tasim: Come on, let's get going towards the north gate. {normally} [1/1] Tasim: Do you need to prepare more? That's fine- I'll be waiting for you at the north gate! {patiently} [1/1] Captain Ragon: There you are! Ready for battle? {excitedly} [1/1] Captain Ragon: I understand. We have time until the corrupted forces arrive, so go prepare. Don't take too long, though. {worriedly} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/7] Tasim: I'm prepared as well. These corrupted won't stand a chance against us! {excitedly} [2/7] Captain Ragon: Yes, yes, very good. Now, it shouldn't be long until- {normally} [3/7] Scout Evelyn: Captain! They're here! {suprised} [4/7] Captain Ragon: Hm... Take note of the leader. I expect if we can defeat it, the rest of the forces will disperse. {explaining} [5/7] Captain Ragon: Stronger foes such as this one will cast spells one after the other, in a specific order. These spell combos can be dangerous, so make sure to take note of them. {explaining} [6/7] Captain Ragon: We'll be fighting all around you, so shout if you're in need of aid. Alright, soldiers, let's defend our city! {excitedly} [7/7] Tasim: Alright soldier, let's do this! {excitedly -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/2] Captain Ragon: Ah, so this leader is a summoner as well! You'll need to take out its forces for it to return to the fight! {thoughtfully} [2/2] Tasim: That's nothing we can't handle! Let's keep at it, soldier! {enthusiastically} [1/1] Tasim: There's more of them on the way! Keep fighting! {eagerly} [1/1] Tasim: I think this'll be the last of them. Then we just need to take out the captain! {eagerly} [1/2] Captain Ragon: You're doing great, both of you! Keep your focus on the enemy- sometimes, you'll encounter foes which change their tactics mid-battle! {explaining} [2/2] Captain Ragon: Some may even have very powerful spell combos they rarely bring out! I expect this one will be no exception. The battle is nearly won, keep fighting! {encouraging} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/7] Captain Ragon: The leader has been slain! Take out the stragglers, soldiers! The battle has been won! {proudly} [2/7] Captain Ragon: We've been seeing more attacks from Ancient Nemract recently... good grief, when will that Graken do his job and sort it out? {annoyed} [3/7] Captain Ragon: Hmph. Well, regardless, the two of you fought well! The training seems to have paid off. {proudly} [4/7] Tasim: Thank you, sir! That captain was a tough foe, but it was nothing we couldn't handle... right, soldier? {satisfied} [5/7] Captain Ragon: Hm... Let us return to the barracks. I'll have to speak to the Admiral when he returns, and I'd like for the two of you to be present. {normally} [6/7] Tasim: He wants us to be there for a meeting with the Admiral...? Huh. What do you think that could be about? {concerned} [7/7] Tasim: ... Hopefully it's not anything bad. He did seem to approve of our combat prowess, but-... Nevermind. We should get going. {concerned} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/10] Captain Ragon: Ah, there you two are. Come here. {normally} [2/10] Tasim: Oh, Admiral! You're back already? {suprised} [3/10] Admiral Aegis: Yes, my absence was never meant to take long. I was paying a visit to the desert city of Almuj, for a meeting with an Admiral Amerigo... {normally} [4/10] Admiral Aegis: But I digress. I've been told the two of you were essential in the defense of our city! Excellent work. {proudly} [5/10] Admiral Aegis: Our preparations for the assault on Nivla Woods' spider den are nearing completion. I'd like the two of you to join that mission. {explaining} [6/10] Tasim: Sir- are you certain? I mean, we'd be happy to join, but surely there are many others more worthy of such a task. {suprised} [7/10] Admiral Aegis: Nonsense! Captain Ragon has assessed your skills, and has deemed them sufficient. And I trust the Captain's judgement. {proudly} [8/10] Admiral Aegis: Now, I must be off. I'll see the two of you when it's time for the mission. {normally} [9/10] Tasim: A big mission to take out the spiders, huh... You know, even though I'm a little worried, I think I'm excited. {concerned} [10/10] Captain Ragon: Ahem. Before you return to your business, I have something for the two of you. Payment for your work today, and a special piece of equipment. Make good use of it. {normally} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/3] Captain Ragon: Hm. Come looking for more training, have you? I'm afraid the next training session isn't for some time. {normally} [2/3] Captain Ragon: If you'd like some more advice for combat, though, you could always speak to the soldiers down in the training room. {normally} [3/3] Captain Ragon: They're honing their skills, and they'll gladly share some tips if you ask them. {normally} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/3] Tasim: soldier, hello! Don't mind me, I'm just... waiting. {bored} [2/3] Tasim: Aledar said he'd come do some training with me, but it turns out he has a whole mission he needs to take care of first. {explaining| [3/3] Tasim: ...Maybe you could help him? You should speak to Aledar if you're interested. {thoughtfully}
