Blazing Sword Game Script: Chapter 11: Taking Leave


Chapter 11: Taking Leave
"Lord Eliwood, we leave on your word."
"I see. Thank you, Marcus."
"Mother, it's time for us to go."
"Eliwood... Promise that you will return to me safely.
I'm worried about your father, but... If anything were to happen to you...
My heart could not bear that sorrow."
"I know, Mother. Please do not worry.
Father is alive, I know it. I vow that I will find him and return him to your side."
"I have your word then."
"Yes, of course.
Isadora, I entrust my mother to you in my absence."
"Yes, milord. I will guard over her well."
"Mother, I will return. Rest easy."
Eleanora and Isadora leave
"Well, Marcus, it looks like it's just the two of us."
"Not so, milord. My man Lowen will be traveling with us."
"Lowen? That's reassuring."
"I've sent him ahead to the village. He hopes to seek out a few able men who are skilled at arms. Normally, I wouldn't venture forth without a larger company, but... I bow to your will on this matter, Lord Eliwood."
"I'm sorry, Marcus, but I would rather not deprive my mother of even a single guard. The best knights in the realm disappeared with my father. If anything were to happen to my mother while I am gone, I..."
"I understand, milord. Hmph! What's keeping Lowen!?"
At The Village
Groznyi
"We've all heard that the knights of Pherae have vanished, right? Well, your misfortune is my good luck! I have an announcement to make! As of now, this village is mine! Groznyi is your new liege! Now bring every last piece of gold, down to the smallest fleck!"
Lowen Rider from the village to Marcus and Eliwood
"Lord Eliwood! Co-Commander Marcus! I..."
"Lowen! Calm yourself! A knight must be in control at all times."
"The village is under attack! It's bandits!"
"What? Bandits? Here!?"
"Are you sure, Lowen?"
"This girl has more details."
"My lord Eliwood? I'm the daughter of the village magistrate. My name's Rebecca. The bandits came without warning. They're stealing everything! I beg you! Please help us!"
"I see. Marcus! Lowen! We must aid the village!"
"Yes, milord! "
"Rebecca, stay here, and keep out of sight."
"If it please you, milord, I would rather fight. I hunt almost every day, and I have some skill with a bow."
"Is that so? Very well, but be careful!"
"Yes, milord."
"Lord Eliwood, one more thing. There is another in the village who has offered to help. A traveling tactician who was staying at the inn."
"A tactician?"
"Yes, milord. This is Mark."
"Mark!"
"Do you know this person, milord?"
"Yes. I met Mark during the trouble in Caelin last year. A fantastic military advisor, if memory serves. If not for Mark, the marquess of Caelin and his granddaughter, Lyn, might not have survived Lundgren's uprising. What brings you to Pherae, my friend? Ha! Still traveling about, honing your skills? Of course... A worthy pursuit. Let's give thanks to providence for our chance reunion. We have need of your aid. Please lend us your skill."
Battle Begins

Turn 2, Dorcas and Bartre appear
"Look, Dorcas! Can you believe it? It's just like that knight said! That's Lord Eliwood!"
"So it seems."
"What's he doing? Hey, he's taking on those bandits. Protecting innocents? That's a right lordly thing to do, isn't it? Right, Dorcas?"
"You talk too much. The lordling needs our help."
"Right! Leave these mountain weaklings to me! I'm Bartre the Brave!"

Visiting the Village (With anybody)
"Is Lord Elbert well? We've heard nothing but foul rumors hereabouts... All of Pherae is worried for his well-being. We hear tell that Lord Eliwood is going to find the marquess. This dragon shield is our village treasure... It boosts the defenses of the one who uses it. Take it, please. And may it see you and Lord Elbert home safely."
Visiting the Village (With Eliwood)
"Lord Eliwood, it is you! I can't thank you enough for helping out small village. The people are saying that... Well, we've heard you're going out in search of your father, the marquess. If it pleases milord, take this with you. It's a dragon shield, our village treasure. It offers protection to the one who uses it. We pray that you will return with the marquess. It is the hope of all citizens of Pherae."
Recieved a Dragonshield

Visit the Right House
"You've got some skill with weapons, but do you understand weapon levels? The more you use a weapon, the more skilled you become. Still, you can only reach the highest level with a single weapon. …But to look at you, I think it'll be a while before that happens."

Visit the Left House
"There's a young traveler been stayin' with the magistrate. Been stayin' in the village for a few days now. I know, you're thinkin' it's just another good-for-nothing courtier lookin' for a handout. But there's somethin' more to this one… Those eyes… They miss nothing. Got a mission, that one has."

Battling the Boss
Fight
"What is this, a pack of children coming to play? You think you can challenge me? What? Pheraen knights!? But that's impossible!!!"
Defeat
"Ugh... I thought my luck... was finally turning around..."
