Here is the edited and corrected transcript for Bastok Mission 3-3. Please ignore the timestamps… as you will notice some cases where certain things are out of order, the reason being is for situations where two dialogues were started separately at the same time and its easier (and more believable) to read if they were separated. Other edits included corrections on some typos, removal of OOC stuff, and so on and so forth. Enjoy!
[12:50:55]<Avina> Jeuno then… [12:51:06]<Daltan> So it would seem. [12:52:01]<Avina> I'm just wondering what they have planned. Lucius spoke pretty seriously.
[12:51:36]<Zetireti> Easy-peasy lemon squeezy, we've been there before! This'll be a cakewalk! [12:53:04]=== Area: Bastok Markets === [12:53:30]<Avina> I trust we will be heading through Qufim? [12:53:50]<Daltan> That would be the most logical way.. Yes [12:55:54]=== Area: Qufim Island === [12:56:20]<Avina> Hmm, ・San d'Oria・ holds this region… [12:56:29]Avina shakes her head. [12:59:50]<Avina> Alright, lets move. Scene: Port Jeuno
[13:06:06]<Avina> To the top then? We are meeting at the Embassy? [13:06:19]<Daltan> Indeed. [13:06:57]=== Area: Ru'Lude Gardens === [13:07:12]<Avina> ・Hmmm.・ [13:07:33]<Daltan> Ahh.. The ・Ru'Lude Gardens・ [13:07:58]Kjara looks at the Rendezvous Point and sighs dejectedly. [13:08:05]Daltan stares at Kjara…
[13:08:59]<Zetireti> There it is! [13:09:08]Zetireti motions joyfully to the Door:Bastokan Emb.. [13:09:28]Goggehn : Welcome to the Bastokan Embassy. Is there something we can help you with? [13:09:33]Goggehn : Oh, it's you, Avina… The administration gave us word of your coming. [13:09:39]Goggehn : Unfortunately, the ambassador isn't in right now. [13:09:42]Goggehn : You know where Delkfutt's Tower is, right? The ambassador's out investigating the area, but I think he's coming back soon. [13:09:56]Wolfgang : Good day. [13:10:09]Goggehn : Why, Lord Wolfgang! What brings you here? [13:10:17]Wolfgang : I seek audience with your ambassador. [13:10:20]Goggehn : Oh, yeah? Well, he's out investigating Delkfutt's Tower. [13:10:25]Wolfgang : Delkfutt's Tower? What kind of investigation is it? [13:10:30]Wolfgang : I would ask your ambassador to avoid such dangerous places… Or is it by order of your nation? [13:10:37]Monberaux : Excuse me… Is the ambassador in residence? [13:10:45]Wolfgang : Monberaux! What business have you here? [13:10:49]Monberaux : Wolfgang. How have you been? [13:10:53]Monberaux : The ambassador has a rare affliction, and it's time for a checkup. [13:11:02]Wolfgang : I say this to you as a friend… Keep a safe distance from foreign dignitaries. [13:11:11]Monberaux : I've told you before that diseases know no borders. Every patient needs a doctor; nationality and status matter not. [13:11:25]Wolfgang : Hmph. You haven't changed a bit, have you? You should take special care, my friend, lest you come to regret it. [13:11:39]Wolfgang : Advise your ambassador against these careless adventures. I shall return later. Good day. [13:11:52]Monberaux : Hmm… [13:11:55]Monberaux : Well, I can't give checkups without a patient. Please convey how sorry I was to miss the ambassador, and that I'll call again later. [13:12:12]Goggehn : Wolfgang's the captain of the guard for Archduke Kam'lanaut. Say, I wonder what he wanted with His Excellency… [13:12:22]Goggehn : Hey, I know! You can go to Delkfutt's Tower and tell us how he's doing. Not too shabby for your first assignment, huh? [13:12:29]Goggehn : I hear that place is crawling with fiends! Be sure to gear up in town. And don't even think of going solo, either. [13:12:39]Goggehn : I know you've served your country well, so I'm confident you'll do fine. Go get 'em, soldier! [13:13:18]<Daltan> Easy enough [13:14:00]<Zetireti> Yes but, what would the ambassador be doing there? [13:14:19]<Zetireti> That place is crawling with monsters [13:14:26]<Avina> I don't know. We're just going to have to find out. [13:14:41]Kjara stands up and stretches. [13:14:51]<Daltan> ・Lower Delkfutt's Tower・.. [13:14:57]<Avina> What is that place anyways? [13:15:11]<Daltan> I myself.. Do not know [13:15:11]<Kjara> "I'm sick of waiting… Guess Zenji went to meet his brother in Bastok.." [13:15:26]Kjara stares at Avina… [13:15:30]<Daltan> I only know where it is located. [13:15:33]<Zetireti> I believe it's that place in ・Qufim Island・, some old geezer gave me a map to there [13:15:38]<Zetireti> in ・Port Jeuno・ [13:15:43]<Daltan> Could be helpful [13:15:43]<Kjara> Excuse me.. [13:15:49]<Daltan> ? [13:15:50]<Daltan> Yes? [13:15:50]Zetireti stares at Kjara, confused. [13:15:50]Avina stares at Kjara… [13:15:57]<Kjara> I think I heard you talking about ・Lower Delkfutt's Tower・..? [13:16:16]<Avina> Yes. We're on an official mission. [13:16:29]<Kjara> Bastokers I see… [13:16:37]<Daltan> ! “Elvaan..” [13:16:40]<Daltan> And yourself? [13:16:50]<Kjara> "A Knight under Bastok ・Allegiance・…?" [13:16:55]<Kjara> Oh, my pardons. [13:16:57]Kjara bows. [13:17:07]<Kjara> I'm a ・Mercenary・. Kjara under ・Royal Army of San d'Oria・ hiring. [13:17:59]<Zetireti> Pleasure to meet you [13:17:31]<Avina> ・San d'Oria・. . . [13:17:35]<Daltan> "San d'Oria…" I see. [13:17:51]Kjara seems lost in thought. [13:17:52]<Daltan> What is it that you require… Kjara? [13:18:28]<Kjara> I heard you don’t know your way through the tower… if I may offer my assistance… [13:19:47]<Zetireti> That would be great! [13:19:53]<Daltan> Thank you. [13:20:01]<Daltan> …But unnecessary [13:20:08]<Daltan> I appreciate your concern [13:20:09]Kjara stares at Daltan… [13:20:23]<Daltan> But those on official missions… Must not accept help from others. *Daltan begins to walk away*
[13:22:10]<Zetireti> Daltan!! [13:22:20]<Daltan> .. Zetireti? [13:22:36]<Zetireti> for the sake of the ambassador, we should accept any help we can get! [13:22:41]<Zetireti> He might be in danger! [13:22:46]<Kjara> "Might they be the guys I heard of…" [13:22:50]<Daltan> A word Zetireti. [13:23:07]<Kjara> I won't insist.. [13:23:07]Zetireti stares at Daltan, confused. [13:23:07]Avina stares at Kjara… [13:23:14]Kjara smiles warmly at Avina. *This conversation between Daltan and Zetireti takes place to the side*
[13:23:14]<Daltan> Tell me. Do you believe she can be trusted? [13:23:30]Zetireti stares at Kjara… [13:23:48]<Zetireti> I believe so [13:23:52]<Daltan> .. [13:24:03]<Daltan> Very well! I will trust your judgement. [13:24:15]Daltan smiles warmly at Kjara. [13:24:28]<Daltan> It would be an honor for you to accompany us, Mercenary Kjara [13:24:28]<Kjara> I take it the Knight changed his mind? [13:24:39]Kjara nods. [13:24:43]Zetireti panics! [13:24:44]<Kjara> Glad to hear that. [13:24:59]<Zetireti> We should hurry! [13:24:59]Kjara stares at Daltan… [13:25:00]<Avina> “Hmph. A ・San d'Oria・n…” [13:25:07]<Kjara> "It must be them.." [13:25:24]<Daltan> *in linkshell* Do not notify her that I am not an active ・Paladin・ The less information she has on us, the better. [13:25:40]=== Area: Upper Jeuno === [13:25:52]<Avina> *in linkshell* Can't say I trust her quite yet myself. [13:27:07]<Zetireti>*in linkshell* Let's judge her character by how she acts with us in battle, shall we? [13:27:23]<Zetireti> *in linkshell* If she's willing to risk her life to come with us, she can't be all that bad [13:27:57]<Avina> *in linkshell*…fair enough [13:28:31]=== Area: Qufim Island === [13:28:44]<Avina> Delkfutt's Tower then… [13:28:54]<Avina> I don't suppose you know much about the tower, Kjara? [13:29:17]<Kjara> I have been there a few times, actually. [13:29:37]<Avina> Oh? [13:29:52]<Kjara> I'm a curious person.^^
[13:29:47]<Zetireti> I've only been in the entry-way [13:30:00]<Zetireti> The beasts on the first floor were too strong to progress further [13:30:09]<Zetireti> That was a while ago though… [13:30:27]<Kjara> I understand. "Were these three going to climb up by themselves…?" [13:30:35]Kjara seems lost in thought. [13:30:38]Kjara shakes her head. [13:30:55]<Daltan> Realistically.. [13:31:01]<Daltan> We have no idea where the ambassador is. [13:31:08]<Daltan> We will have to search every floor. [13:31:11]<Kjara> The ambassador? [13:31:16]<Daltan> !!! [13:31:27]<Kjara> Is the ambassador in there? [13:31:27]<Daltan> . . . [13:31:37]<Daltan> Yes. [13:31:37]<Kjara> Oh, my bad.. guess it's top secret. [13:31:51]<Kjara> "This isn't normal.." [13:31:51]<Avina> “She's a curious one…” [13:31:50]<Daltan> We..
[13:32:01]<Daltan> Are the ones sent to find him. [13:32:26]<Kjara> Oh, a rescue party..
[13:32:22]<Daltan> tell me Kjara.. [13:32:33]<Daltan> How is San d'Oria doing these days? [13:32:44]<Kjara> Well… oh wait a minute please… [13:32:50]<Kjara> I almost forgot. [13:32:55]Kjara looks up. [13:33:02](Kjara) Come to me, my winged brother! ・Call Wyvern・ <call21> [13:33:08]Kjara bows. [13:33:11]<Avina> A dragoon? [13:33:14]<Daltan> ! [13:33:17]Kjara pokes Azure. [13:33:22]<Kjara> Where did you go, kid? [13:33:36]<Daltan> Ack! [13:33:36]Kjara tosses Azure some food. [13:33:38]<Daltan> We lost Zetireti! [13:33:43]<Daltan> We must make haste! [13:33:49]Kjara sighs dejectedly. [13:33:53]<Kjara> "Tarus…" [13:34:00]<Daltan> !!! [13:34:07]The Giant Ranger hits Zetireti for 24 points of damage. [13:34:18]<Zetireti> There you guys are!! [13:34:20]<Kjara> Stop right there, gigas. [13:34:26]<Zetireti> I thought you were right behind me! [13:34:27]Kjara defeats the Giant Trapper. [13:34:46]Daltan looks at Zetireti and sighs dejectedly. [13:34:46]Avina looks at Zetireti disgustedly. [13:34:50]Zetireti stares blankly. [13:34:53]<Kjara> Your company sure never gets bored. [13:35:06]<Avina> Tell me about it.. [13:35:50]<Daltan> Zetireti [13:35:55]<Daltan> Before we enter… [13:36:03]<Daltan> Care for a bit of fun? [13:36:11]Avina stares at Daltan, confused. [13:36:15]Kjara shakes her head at Azure. [13:36:16]<Zetireti> you bet! *Daltan, Zetireti, and Avina proceed to attack some monsters*
[13:36:36]Kjara stares blankly. [13:37:04]Kjara uses High Jump. [13:37:04]The Clipper takes 333 points of damage. [13:37:09]Avina looks at Kjara, shocked! [13:37:12]Kjara smiles warmly at Avina. [13:37:25]<Avina> That's… impressive. [13:37:38]<Kjara> Any dragoon can do that^^ [13:38:11]Zetireti looks at Kjara, shocked! [13:38:20]<Avina> “She's good…” [13:38:50]<Avina> So this is the tower? [13:39:01]<Kjara> *whispers to Azure* I saw that, you know… stop trying to bite them. [13:39:06]<Kjara> Well,
[13:39:12]<Kjara> there aren't many others^^ [13:39:19]Avina looks at Kjara and sighs dejectedly. [13:39:26]<Daltan> Let us begin our search [13:39:42]=== Area: Lower Delkfutt's Tower === [13:40:22]<Kjara> "The knight won't spill a word… hope the other two let some good information slip.." [13:40:42]<Avina> ・Hmmm.・ [13:40:54]Zetireti seems lost in thought. [13:40:54]<Avina> Any clues? [13:41:02]<Kjara> Well.. [13:41:15]<Kjara> I don't know what a Bastoker Ambassador could be doing here.. [13:41:28]<Kjara> but since we are at bottom, might as well go to the top. [13:41:45]<Avina> You know the way? [13:41:51]<Kjara> Sure. [13:41:59]<Avina> Goblins… *The group engages multiple goblins on their way to the teleport*
[13:43:54]<Avina> We need to find the ambassador… [13:43:56]Kjara claps her hands at Azure. [13:44:09]<Avina> This isn't good with all these monsters here. [13:54:33]<Daltan> A staircase.. [13:54:40]<Daltan> Will this take us to level 2? [13:54:52]<Kjara> Mhm. [13:55:42]<Avina> Giants… [13:56:02]<Avina> Whats an ambassador doing here?? [13:56:13]<Daltan> . . . [13:56:31]<Daltan> "Is it possible we are too late?" [13:56:31]<Zetireti> He'd better be a good fighter, or at least good with a ・Sneak・ spell! [13:57:02]<Daltan> oh? Blocking our path? [13:57:38]<Kjara> "I wonder if they can actually stand a chance against HIM.." *Kjara eliminates an enemy.*
[13:58:16]<Daltan> "Not bad.." [13:58:16]<Avina> Keep moving! We have to hurry. [13:58:33]<Daltan> Not on this floor either. [13:59:26]<Kjara> Is there something wrong? [13:59:44]The Chaos Idol is out of range. [13:59:45]<Kjara> "Wonder what would be Bastok doing in here.." [13:59:51]<Daltan> These?.. Are dolls yes? [13:59:57]<Daltan> Zetireti… [14:00:10]<Zetireti> Yeah? [14:00:12]<Kjara> Yes, of the Arcana family.. not something we should play with. *Avina and Zetireti engage them anyways. ^^;*
[14:00:30]<Daltan> ・/sigh・ Nevermind. [14:00:37]<Avina> They seem easy enough… [14:00:53]<Kjara> Don't understimate unknown technology. [14:01:12]Daltan stretches. [14:02:18]<Avina> What is this place…? [14:02:31]<Daltan> …? [14:02:40]<Avina> This tower. Whats it here for? [14:02:41]<Kjara> Well, I heard something about it.
[14:02:54]<Kjara> But everyone has their secrets I suppose.
[14:03:08]<Avina> What did you hear?
[14:03:25]<Kjara> I have my top secret things too… [14:03:36]Avina stares at Kjara… [14:03:40]<Avina> "Who is she?" [14:02:40]<Daltan> Burning circle!!! [14:02:42]<Daltan> … [14:02:45]<Daltan> Wait.. [14:02:47]<Daltan> thats wrong.. [14:02:53]Daltan sighs with relief. [14:03:07]Kjara stares at Daltan… [14:03:17]<Zetireti> This looks like a teleporter [14:03:25]<Daltan> a moment.. if you'd please.. [14:03:40]Daltan can't help himself and staggers. [14:04:19]<Daltan> "Grrr…" [14:04:29]<Daltan> "I can't stop… Shaking.." [14:05:11]<Daltan> "Calm your mind.. ・Meditate・.." [14:05:32]<Avina> You ready Daltan? [14:05:42]<Daltan> yes.. thank you. [14:05:46]<Kjara> I know Azure, I don't feel safe either… *alone with her wyvern past the warp* [14:06:02]=== Area: Middle Delkfutt's Tower === [14:06:13]<Avina> Where are we now? [14:06:27]Kjara waves. [14:06:58]<Kjara> Oh, wait. [14:07:06]<Daltan> ? [14:07:09]<Kjara> This will help. [14:07:20]Avina gains the effect of Protect. [14:07:23]Zetireti motions joyfully to Kjara. [14:07:27]Avina gains the effect of Shell. [14:07:32]<Avina> White magic… huh [14:07:41]<Kjara> I have some essential notions. [14:09:49]<Kjara> Another arcana.. [14:09:55]<Kjara> stay away from them [14:10:03]<Kjara> they aren't like windurst's cardians. [14:14:06]<Avina> How high does this place go? [14:14:11]<Daltan> Level 6… [14:14:15]<Daltan> Still no sign of him.. [14:14:47]<Kjara> well… there is up to 11 floors but [14:15:13]<Kjara> if the ambassador went that far, I'm not sure he's still alive.. [14:15:49]<Avina> Why would he come here? [14:16:03]<Daltan> I.. do not know.. [14:16:18]<Daltan> Another Teleporter.. [14:18:04]Zetireti stares blankly. [14:18:37]<Daltan> I fear the worst for the Ambassador, we must hurry. [14:18:42]<Kjara> "Quite a strange team, but well trained.." *Daltan catches the attention of a Gigas from behind, and Kjara disposes of it quickly*
[14:20:13]<Kjara> I understand you are worried, but watch your back Knight. [14:20:23]<Daltan> . . . [14:20:33]<Kjara> You need to stay alive to save the ambassador. [14:20:45]<Kjara> If he still is. [14:20:52]<Daltan> . . .Paladin Vow #10 [14:21:12]<Daltan> A paladin must be willing to sacrifice his own life, in order to save ANY other innocent. [14:21:41]<Kjara> Save me the lessons… I've heard enough of them.
[14:21:52]<Daltan> . . .
*Zetireti sees a ‘Big Bat’ :P*
[14:21:31]<Zetireti> That's a big bat!!! [14:21:52]<Daltan> . . . *The team happens upon an Evil Spirit, which they engage and defeat*
[14:22:16]<Kjara> A ghost… [14:22:26]<Kjara> Maybe we found your ambassador? [14:22:31]Kjara looks away from the Evil Spirit, lost in thought. [14:22:33]<Daltan> ! [14:22:42]<Daltan> No.. [14:22:46]Daltan kneels respectfully. [14:22:50]<Avina> We haven't checked everywhere yet. *Zetireti is looking over an edge, leading to a chasm down the tower*
[14:23:43]Kjara pokes Zetireti. [14:23:50]<Kjara> Don't fall down. [14:23:51]Zetireti looks at Kjara and panics! [14:24:11]<Daltan> "It would seem she only see's me as a knight.. Blinded by San d'Orian rule.." [14:24:18]<Daltan> "Good.." [14:25:08]<Daltan> "I can't afford to befriend another."
[14:25:07]<Kjara> Go straight. [14:25:11]<Kjara> I got your back. [14:26:32]=== Area: Upper Delkfutt's Tower === [14:26:56]<Kjara> "After begging the King to send me to Jeuno to stay away from Knights.." [14:27:04]<Kjara> "I get to deal with them again.. sigh. -.-" [14:28:38]<Daltan> ! *They reach the top of the tower*
[14:28:39]<Kjara> Well he's not here.. [14:28:45]Kjara stares at Porphyrion… [14:28:57]<Kjara> But it looks like we have company. *The team begins fighting all the Gigas in the room, saving the leader for last*
[14:30:32]<Daltan>Heh… This guy looks like the boss. [14:31:51]Daltan stares at Porphyrion… [14:32:02]Daltan shrugs. [14:32:04]<Kjara> "I'm afraid I'll have to use it.." [14:32:21]<Daltan> "This one seems different." [14:32:46]<Avina> Their leader? [14:32:59]<Daltan> ・Invincible・.. [14:33:17]<Kjara> Like I said. [14:33:41]<Daltan> -cough- [14:34:09]<Kjara> "I'm impressed they made it… I didn't even need to reveal my secret skill." [14:34:13]Kjara claps her hands. [14:34:19]<Kjara> Bravo, bravo. [14:34:29]<Kjara> But I'm afraid your ambassador is not here.
[14:34:27]Zetireti motions joyfully. [14:34:29]<Daltan> "Invincible still uses that much energy.." [14:34:40]<Avina> . . . [14:34:49]<Avina> This key… [14:34:54]<Daltan> ! [14:35:00]<Daltan> Where does it lead to!? [14:35:08]<Kjara> Hold on [14:35:13]<Kjara> You guys are hurt.. [14:35:15]Daltan stares at the Elevator… [14:35:19]Avina points at the Elevator. [14:35:24]<Daltan> These wounds are nothing. [14:35:51]<Kjara> Spoken as the typical knight… [14:35:56]Kjara shakes her head. [14:36:01]<Daltan> you misunderstand [14:36:10]<Daltan> I will do anything within my power to save the ambassador. [14:36:27]<Kjara> that too… [14:36:29]<Daltan> It is not for honor. It is to prove to myself that i can protect something. ANYTHING [14:36:37]<Daltan> something a mercenary wouldn't understand. [14:36:58]<Kjara> let me tell you something I learned by myself. [14:37:08]<Kjara> Those who die can't protect anything. [14:37:19]<Kjara> you get hurt and ignore injuries, you die. [14:37:20]Zetireti panics! [14:37:27]<Daltan> . . . [14:37:30]<Kjara> what a big paladin would that be. [14:37:34]Kjara gives up, confused. [14:37:43]<Kjara> knights never think with their own head. [14:37:37]<Daltan> You would be unwise to see me as a normal paladin. [14:37:39]<Daltan> Tell me Kjara. [14:37:51]<Avina> . . . [14:37:54]<Daltan> Have you ever seen a paladin in allegiance to a nation other than ・San d'Oria・?.. [14:37:57]<Daltan> Think about that. [14:38:04]Kjara stares at Daltan… [14:38:10]<Kjara> I don't see any difference. [14:38:25]<Avina> “They both are Elvaan alright…” [14:38:36]=== Area: Upper Delkfutt's Tower === [14:38:42]<Daltan> heh heh.. Then alls well that ends well isn't it? [14:39:03]<Daltan> I fulfill my need, and you keep your view on us ・Paladin・'s. [14:39:30]<Kjara> Didn't think you would care about a ・Mercenary・'s point of view. [14:39:40]=== Area: Upper Delkfutt's Tower ===
[14:39:56]<Daltan> That is correct. [14:40:07]<Daltan> I am an egotystical, honor driven [14:40:14]<Daltan> Pride controlled… Robot. [14:40:08]<Kjara> "I totally wasted my time coming here.." [14:40:40]<Daltan> I only care for following the paladin code [14:40:58]<Kjara> ever thought that is why you can't protect anyone? [14:41:07]=== Area: Lower Delkfutt's Tower === [14:41:16]<Avina> That's enough, Kjara. [14:41:24]<Daltan> The truth is simple [14:41:35]<Daltan> I am not powerful enough to protect anyone. I've failed many times in the past [14:41:45]<Daltan> and I've yet to see myself, pull through, so to speak. [14:42:17]<Daltan> Avina and Zetireti can give you first hand proof of that. *They enter a room with more Gigas after descending a long set of stairs, and Kjara runs to engage them*
[14:41:40]<Kjara> I feel a presence here. Go find your ambassador. [14:42:06]<Kjara> Before the knight dies in auto commiseration. [14:42:51]<Avina> The ambassador? [14:42:51]<Daltan> *in linkshell* Avina. Zetireti. Let her believe this is the person that i am. [14:43:13]<Daltan> *in linkshell* I will be hated. But her views on us will not be false.
[14:43:32]<Daltan> *in linkshell* If she finds one different ・Paladin・, she will find room for hope that others will change
[14:43:39]<Daltan> *in linkshell* And that is simply… Impossible. [14:43:59]<Daltan> *in linkshell* This is the path i have chosen. [14:44:15]<Avina> "always so long winded…" [14:44:35]<Daltan> !!! The Ambassador! [14:45:00]<Kjara> Let's go Azure, they should be fine now. [14:45:28]<Kjara> They have a good protector after all. [14:44:42]Altair : Un… Ungh… [14:44:45]Altair : Who are you? Not an enemy, at any rate. [14:44:45]I'm glad you found me. [14:44:45]I am ambassador Altair from Bastok. [14:44:56]Altair : What? You were sent on a mission for the embassy…? [14:44:56]I see. My apologies…if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have had to come to such a dangerous place. [14:45:15]Altair : I should never have let my guard down…I was struck from behind, and the next thing I knew, I woke up here. [14:45:15]I shudder to think at what would have happened to me if you hadn't come. [14:45:42]Altair : This place is dangerous…but not only because of the monsters. I sense something more ominous in the air… [14:45:48]Altair : In any case, we should get out of here as soon as possible. [14:45:48]I can find my way out. Come meet me at the embassy when you can. [14:45:29]<Daltan> Avina. Zetireti. I must go. I have things.. I need to think about. [14:46:23]<Daltan> thank you for your assistance. Kjara. [14:46:39]<Kjara> You're welcome.. [14:46:57]Avina bows courteously to Kjara. [14:47:03]Kjara nods. [14:47:43]<Kjara> "I guess it's not the party Kenjii's brother told me about.." [14:48:17]<Kjara> "I need to find that dragon.." *Away from the group, Daltan thinks to himself*
[14:49:22]<Daltan> "Damn it." [14:49:37]<Daltan> "this burden.. Is heavy.." [14:52:44]=== Area: Qufim Island === [14:53:11]<Kjara> The night sky in ・Qufim Island・ is always a pretty view isn't it Azure..? [14:53:27]<Kjara> *dismisses wyvern* Go take a fly. [14:53:42]<Zetireti> Avina… [14:54:01]<Avina> Yeah? [14:54:20]<Zetireti> We need to hurry back, I need to go to Windurst [14:54:26]Avina looks at Zetireti, shocked! [14:54:34]<Avina> What for? *Zetireti and Avina make their way towards Jeuno, while Zetireti remains silent*
[14:58:48]<Daltan> "Overall.. Kjara seems to be a promising Dragoon." [14:59:03]<Daltan> "The spark in her eye in battle.. Her willingness to help.." [14:59:13]<Daltan> "It reminds me of Avina and Zetireti" [14:59:26]<Daltan> "I wonder if our paths will cross again?" [15:00:37]<Kjara> "I think I'm going to pay a visit to the bastoker embassy… ・Invisible・ isn't illegal after all.." [15:00:52]<Kjara> "this story is not right.." [15:03:11]<Kjara> "I'm not even sure I should inform the King about this…" [15:01:29]=== Area: Ru'Lude Gardens === *Daltan returns before Avina and Zetireti, noticing that Kjara is in the area.*
[15:02:08]<Daltan> …"What is Kjara up to?" [15:02:35]<Daltan> Interesting.
[15:02:19]Goggehn : Welcome back! The ambassador's returned, and can't wait to see you. Step on into his office. [15:02:42]Altair : So, there you are. [15:02:51]Altair : Thank you so much for braving the dangers and finding me. I'm very thankful. Now, let's get down to business… [15:03:00]Altair : I hereby assign you, Avina, to the post of attach・ of the Embassy to Jeuno. [15:03:10]Altair : Do all you can for your country and her friendship with Jeuno. [15:03:11]<Kjara> "I'm not even sure I should inform the King about this…" [15:03:24]Altair : You know, there's a certain special task you may be interested in later. Now is not the time, but I'll keep you in mind. [15:04:06]Avina sighs dejectedly. [15:04:13]<Avina> Another mission completed. [15:04:50]<Zetireti> You guys!! [15:05:00]Zetireti panics! [15:05:08]<Daltan> . . . [15:05:24]<Daltan> Yes Zetireti? ^^ [15:05:24]<Zetireti> I got a message on the linkshell from my family [15:05:28]<Avina> What is it, Zetireti? [15:05:37]<Zetireti> Windurst has been suffering attacks from the Yagudo!! [15:05:51]<Avina> Haven't they always…? [15:06:14]<Kjara> *behind a corner listening* "I thought the birds and the ・Tarutaru・ were in peace.." [15:06:19]<Zetireti> This is different, they have breached the city walls and are kidnapping civillians! [15:06:36]Avina looks at Zetireti, shocked! [15:06:37]<Daltan> "So.. Tired.." [15:06:40]<Daltan> heh.. [15:06:45]<Daltan> only one thing.. we can do then.. [15:06:58]Daltan can't help himself and staggers. [15:07:10]<Zetireti> I don't know about you guys, but I need to go back [15:07:35]<Zetireti> As soon as I get to Bastok I'm packing up my things and returning to my home [15:07:31]<Avina> Well, sure, we could manage a trip over there… [15:07:44]<Daltan> . . . [15:07:47]Avina looks at Zetireti, shocked! [15:07:48]<Zetireti> My nation needs me [15:07:52]<Avina> Packing? [15:08:14]<Zetireti> Of course I'll still have my place in bastok…but I'm planning on being there for a while [15:08:32]<Zetireti> Until this all rolls over [15:08:51]<Daltan> come sit with me Zetireti.. [15:09:06]<Zetireti> It's weird though…the yagudo would never do this unless they knew they had a significant edge in battle [15:09:54]<Zetireti> You heard what that eye said… [15:09:54]Daltan dozes off quietly. [15:10:24]<Kjara> "that stupid pushed himself too much.. he's barely standing on his feet.."
[15:10:16]<Avina> The Shadow Lord? [15:10:24]<Zetireti> If there are more things like that dragon, and on the yagudo's side…. [15:10:24]<Daltan> ! [15:10:30]<Zetireti> Windurst is in big trouble!! [15:10:31]<Kjara> "the shadow lord?!" [15:10:34]<Daltan> Avina. [15:10:42]Daltan stares at Avina… [15:10:50]<Avina> What? [15:10:53]Kjara looks away from Zetireti, lost in thought. [15:10:55]<Daltan> Never say that name out loud. [15:11:11]<Kjara> "So it WAS them…" [15:11:25]<Avina> I'm not going to be quiet just because it's something people don't want to think about. [15:11:28]<Daltan> If someone heard it.. It could shake the foundation of this world itself [15:11:44]<Avina> what if it is true? [15:11:44]<Zetireti> I need to get ready to make my trip back to windurst now [15:11:53]<Daltan> Zetireti.. [15:12:00]<Daltan> Answer me this.. [15:12:06]Zetireti stares at Daltan, confused. [15:12:20]<Daltan> If you would wait just a few hours.. Enough for me to gain some strength back.. [15:12:34]<Daltan> Would you allow me to accompany you. [15:12:50]Avina stares at Daltan… [15:12:52]<Zetireti> Not necessary Daltan, this isn't your fight [15:13:09]<Daltan> Zetireti. [15:13:21]<Daltan> You've done enough for me. You must allow me to repay you this debt. [15:13:26]<Daltan> very well [15:13:29]<Kjara> "Guess I have no choice… if I want to find out the truth…." [15:13:30]<Avina> I don't think I'll be able to sit this one out either… been meaning to teach those Yagudo a thing or two. [15:13:33]<Daltan> I will not hinder you by a few hours. [15:13:39]<Daltan> We can leave… immediately.. [15:13:41]Daltan can't help himself and staggers. [15:13:55]<Kjara> I haven't been in windurst for a while now!^^ [15:13:55]<Zetireti> Daltan, your wounds! [15:13:58]Kjara waves. [15:14:03]<Daltan> !! [15:14:06]Zetireti looks at Kjara, shocked! [15:14:07]Avina looks at Kjara, shocked! [15:14:09]<Daltan> you.. How long.. Have you been here?.. [15:14:11]Kjara smiles warmly. [15:14:20]<Avina> "She got cheery fast…" [15:14:24]<Kjara> It's not important right now. [15:14:32]<Kjara> Windurst is in danger. [15:14:41]<Kjara> and you care about how long I could have been here? [15:14:43]Avina nods to Kjara. [15:14:45]Kjara shakes her head at Daltan. [15:14:56]<Kjara> Let me come with you, Zetireti. [15:14:58]<Avina> "Gutsy. . ." [15:15:00]<Daltan> "She must not have heard.. Thank goodness.." [15:15:19]<Daltan> Let us leave.. Right away.. [15:15:24]<Kjara> I have.. personal affections in windurst too. [15:15:24]<Zetireti> I appreciate your guys help ; ; [15:15:37]Kjara looks at Daltan and sighs dejectedly. [15:15:37]<Avina> Well Zetireti, looks like you'll have some friends along for the ride. [15:15:59]<Zetireti> I'm going to head to bastok now and get my gear together [15:16:06]Avina nods to Zetireti. [15:16:31]<Zetireti> I'll warn you guys though [15:17:16]<Zetireti> In times of crisis, that last thing the people of windurst want is to appear weak, and calling for aid from bastok [15:17:18]<Zetireti> and ・San d'Oria・ [15:17:57]<Zetireti> Likely the only way they'll accept our help is to earn their trust [15:18:07]<Zetireti> that means doing missions for them [15:18:15]Avina looks away from Zetireti, lost in thought. [15:18:26]<Avina> Well [15:18:38]<Kjara> I'm a ・Mercenary・, missions are my daily bread. [15:18:41]<Daltan> "I musn't be a hindrance to them… I can rest later. Now is the time to act." [15:19:25]<Kjara> you don't need to worry, I'll fight by your side and ensure you stay alive when that knight's armor will be too rusty [15:19:28]<Kjara> to let him move. [15:19:28]<Avina> Well, the Beastmen are the enemies of all nations I suppose. [15:19:57]<Zetireti> Thanks for your guys help [15:20:07]<Zetireti> I'll meet you there then, I'm leaving right now [15:20:12]<Avina> So long as ・Windurst・'s missions don't bring harm to Bastok, no harm in helping them. [15:20:43]<Kjara> "So small and yet so brave…" [15:20:47]Avina stares at Kjara… [15:20:48]Kjara smiles warmly at Avina. [15:20:58]<Avina> "She had such a sudden switch…" [15:21:06]<Kjara> Yes? [15:21:10]Avina shakes her head at Kjara. [15:21:14]<Avina> Nothing. [15:21:26]<Avina> Heavy stuff is all. [15:21:43]<Kjara> Ok. I'll meet you somewhere… You'll know when. [15:21:49]Avina nods to Kjara. [15:21:54]<Kjara> It's not safe for me to come to bastok.. [15:22:08]<Avina> What do you mean? [15:22:14]Kjara looks away from Avina, lost in thought. [15:22:20]Avina stares at Kjara, confused. [15:22:27]<Kjara> Nothing… family issues.. we could say. [15:22:39]<Kjara> I'll see you later Avina. [15:22:44]Kjara waves goodbye to Avina. [15:22:45]Avina nods to Kjara. [15:22:47]Avina waves goodbye to Kjara.
