Battle 6: vs Demon of Silence Lv 16
Thu Dec 12, 2019 12:37 pm
First topic message reminder :
CASTLE HIGH Lv. 15
HP ????? / 15000
Adagio of Peace Completion: 0%
Symphony of Binding Power: 15%
- Opening Cutscene:
- As you and the rest of Regiment 1-31 stand at attention to make landfall, you can't help but feel uneasy. An invincible demon? Even after everything else you've faced, it's a daunting prospect. Nonetheless, feeling that telltale shift in the castle's engines, you ready yourself for a landing. Apparently, since there's only a single target to battle, the entire army will be right behind you. Normally, having the entirety of Castle High backing you up would make you feel pretty secure, but for some reason, it doesn't give you much solace right now.
Behind you, a series of titanic footfalls herald Giada, fully clad in her suit of bunker-like dark green armor. Standing well above your head and striking an imposing silhouette, she tosses you a thumbs-up and calls out in an echoing voice, "I've been lookin' forward to this! Russel's said you all are the real deal for a while now. Rarin' to see how you do in action! Just remember, if things get too tough, get behind me! Doesn't matter if its men, demons or monsters, me and my armor will hold them off."
"Excuse me, Giada," Emilia asks beside you, "I've been thinking about this ever since we were briefed on the new castles: your armor. It sounds similar to the mechanical suits used by the forces of Bertila, doesn't it?"
"Ahh, yeaaaahhh..." Giada responds slowly. Despite her expression obscured by her armor, it's fairly apparent she's hesitant to explain.
"Oh, if it's something you don't want to talk about, I understand. I was just--"
"No no, sorry. It's fine, just uh... kind of a long story, and I don't remember all the pieces to it--"
"Heads up!" Russel's voice suddenly calls over the intercoms. "We're approaching the location of the demon! Get ready for landing!"
Independently deciding this would have to wait, Emilia returns to her spot by the wall, bracing herself against a column, while Giada widens her stance, eyes locked on the metal doors in front of her.
"Holy cr-- uh, go, go, go!"
Giada leads the charge, nearly bashing the bay doors open as she leaps down onto the battlefield, the rest of Regiment 1-31 swiftly behind her as they dive into the fray!
The warriors of Castle High would immediately experience three sensations: the titanic size of the monster before them, the scorching heat of the air around them, and the blare of an orchestra.
Spread out in front of the Regiment is a number of musicians playing an expansive range of instruments -- flutes and clarinets, trumpets and trombones, french horns and tubas, snare and bass drums, and many more. Besides the human musicians, there appear to be inanimate objects playing along as well to the flowing melody. Stones hum like violins, and the winds through trees make rich woodwind sounds. It's as if the earth itself follows the baton of the conductor, who stands at the center of this army of music. What the musicians wore was recognizable as the fine regalia of an orchestra -- black dresses and gloves, tailed suits, cummerbunds and bow-ties -- but adapted for the battlefield with sleek black bracers, dark boots, and elegant chestplates. Their instruments too are wielded like weapons, the ebb and flow of the music matching their movement and formation across the battlefield as they avoid fiery projectiles.
Towering over the musical band is a monster the likes of which you couldn't have possibly imagined. Whatever you thought a 'Hundred-Headed Demon' would look like pales in comparison to the behemoth before you. The creature is several stories tall with eight arms ending in clawed talons, blades the size of columns, warped and twisted like charred wood. The claws drag through the earth behind it, creating maelstroms of flame and reducing soil to dust. Its legs are some terrible mixture of a horse's and a spider's: long, spindly segments fanning out in all directions, but covered in muscle and sinew, globs of lava leaking from cracks across an exoskeleton of bone, leaving a molten trail beneath and around it. The upper half of the demon is horrific, dominated by its hundred heads. Each head is the size of a small house, and no two look alike. Some are animal in appearance: a drooling, feral rat; an angler fish with pulsating eyes; a ravenous spider, dripping a fiery poison. Others are eerily human: a child, crying tears of ash; a beautiful man's face with a gouged out eye; an old woman, looking to be on the verge of death. In the center of all the heads, larger than any other, is a spiraling mass of flame and shadow, four points of multi-colored light whirling about as if gazing upon those below.
"SssiiIIIillLLeenNncceEE," the mass of heads whisper, scream, cry, and roar in unison, draining all other sound from the world, including even the orchestra's melody. "PPppuuRrreeE aannDD ttRrUUeee..."
The music returns with force as the conductor -- a white-haired woman particularly fleet of foot -- hits a feverful phrase, and the demon seems to reel! By her side stands a young teenage boy, fervently playing a flute, who suddenly stops upon seeing the castle's forces. He runs over toward Giada, "are you here to help? Thank goodness! Aunt Avelia, look!"
"Ormen! Get back here!" the conductor calls out in annoyance. "I need you supporting the counter-melody-- oh," she starts, nearly falling off-tempo. "A band of warriors? Hmm..."
"Your weapons won't work against the Demon of Silence, but my aunt's baton can pull music out of anything. In fact, maybe with your help, I could finish my score--"
Suddenly, an oboe player from the front shouts, "Miss Calinn, it's coming! Just like before!"
"Damn," she curses, holding the fourth beat of a measure before dropping her baton with a flourish. "Everyone, stay with your section! Recognize each other by the song!"
Up above, you see what the oboe player must have been warning of. The central head of the demon is leaning forward, its churning darkness and heat seeming to turn more tangible... and all at once, it explodes, a spiraling cloud of black and red quickly fanning out across the burned battlefield! As you see orchestra members be consumed, the conductor runs toward Ormen and your Regiment, raising her baton to the cloud. "All of you, brace yourselves and hold your breath--!"
A few moments later, the dark cloud collides with the army, nearly knocking you off your feet with its force. Embers claw at your eyes as ash presses at your body as the tirade continues...!
Until all at once, the assault ends, leaving an eerie silence. You cautiously wipe the ash away from your eyes, revealing... a dark cave, sprawling out before you. As you look around, you find only the flute player Ormen, the conductor Avelia, and the others of Regiment 1-31 with you. Castle High and the rest of its forces seem to have vanished.
"Another illusion?" Ormen asks despairingly.
"Seems so," Avelia responds, before turning toward you and the others. "We've been trapped in one of the demon's illusions. The rest of my orchestra and your forces are somewhere within its depths, where the demon can pick us off separately. The only way to defeat the Demon of Silence is to seal it back into the earth with music too powerful for it to stand against."
"Or, we can lull it back to sleep with a beautiful melody!" Ormen responds, reaching into a pocket in his suit and producing a few crumbled-up sheets of music. "I'm almost done writing a score that I know will do the trick! It was the song I was going to perform for the demon--"
"In two months. Which we no longer have time for," Avelia corrects him. "I know you're of age to take the baton Ormen, but we don't have the luxury of peace any more. The demon is already raging. Our only hope is to seal it, now."
"Hey, uh," Giada cuts in, "time seems kind of limited right now, so let's hurry this along. What should we do?"
Avelia swings her baton over the Regiment, and suddenly, you feel something... change, in both you and your weapon. With just a small flick, it emits a harmonious tone.
"I've enchanted your weapons with the Blessing of Music. You should be able to fight off the demon's illusions and magic with them, now. Use them as you normally would, and the enchantment will bind them with music. You won't be able to harm the demon, but you should be able to weaken it or its magic." She holds the baton at attention, "we must create a song forceful enough to overcome the demon. Alone, our orchestra couldn't manage it, but with your forces, we might have a chance. We'll need to gather as many of your people and my own together as possible. If we distract the demon, the illusion should weaken, allowing more to find us. We could also seek them out ourselves, though wandering the monster's illusions seems risky..."
"M-my score is much quieter, by the way!" Ormen adds. "If you help me finish it, we wouldn't need many more people. It's gotta be perfect though, exactly the song it needs to be to calm the demon, or it won't work. I'm not really sure how we could know that... but if you could figure it out, maybe we could--"
"SSsiiiLLLeeeNNNccceEEEEEE," hums a small choir of voices, as from the roof of the cave, three of the demon's heads appear! A coiling serpent, the dying old woman, and a bloody shark head emerge from the ceiling, along with a taloned claw!
"...Ah, right. You should probably ensure my survival as well." Avelia adds, her eyes trained on the demonic outcropping. "Without a conductor... I'm afraid the demon will be truly invincible."
- The Demon of Silence:
- This battle features several unique mechanics, which I will expand upon to some degree here.
First and foremost, the demon cannot take damage! However, by attacking it, you will weaken its stats and abilities, and eventually weaken and break the illusion you are surrounded by. You can also do this through more traditional means, such as applying debuffs.
There are two primary ways of defeating the demon. The first (and most straightforward) is to find enough members of the Nightdeaf orchestra and the Castle High Forces to play a song strong enough to seal the demon away. You can find these people primarily by weakening the demon, but they can also be located through other means. Once enough allies are brought together, the battle will end.
Alternatively, you can assist Ormen in writing his melody. Once the melody is successfully finished, the battle will end. However, the song he is composing must be written precisely to counter the Demon of Silence, or it will not work. How to exactly assist him in this is a curious matter...
Throughout this process, the demon will continually attack you and attempt to stop you! As you get closer to succeeding, the demon will focus more attention upon your group in particular, causing it to become more dangerous! VERY IMPORTANTLY, due to the Support Regiment being lost within the illusion of the demon, Allies who are Incapacitated will not be automatically revived, at least until the Support Regiment is located! Be very careful!

Re: Battle 6: vs Demon of Silence Lv 16
Sun Feb 02, 2020 2:09 pm
Bran raises his hands and activates Aegis of Magic, a shimmering shield extending around Avelia and protecting her! The shield has 390 HP and will provide additional defense after being shattered.
Severa raises her staff and emits rings of healing, flowing over herself and Erika! Severa gains 383 HP, while Erika gains 315 HP!
Arthur and Vince work together to stabilize Giada. Vince begins by removing the Burning debuff from Arthur, healing him for 100 HP. He then draws heat away from her body as Arthur steadies her breathing and restores some of her life force! Together, the two succeed, and can even see Giada's eyes begin to slowly flicker open, vaguely registering the two men.
Giada has been stabilized! She will return to combat at the end of the turn with 40% of her HP and will not suffer a Scar.
The Demon of Silence ripples and roars, its boney talons scarring the sky with streaks of ravenous hellfire! The monster crashes its blades into the earth, massive chunks of bone, stone, and flame exploding out at all allies!
The fire and brimstone burst through the ranks of all allies! Emilia, Ormen, Erika, Severa, and Yam are all assaulted by a cacophony of stone and blade, taking 494 damage each!! They also each are inflicted with the Burning Hell debuff, which will deal 200 damage at the end of the turn! Avelia is protected by the Aegis of Magic, which immediately shatters! The fragments of gold and light settle around her, granting her Arcane Armor, reducing damage taken by 25%! Russel, Saul and Vince each withstand the flurry of stone and bone, while Arthur attempts to defend not only himself, but Bran using Focused Defender! In order to intercept a jagged fragment of rock aimed for the scholar's throat, Arthur is forced to take the strike himself, receiving 321 damage and being inflicted with Burning Hell!
Arthur proceeds to counter-attack, spinning around his dagger and diving straight for the demon! Switching to Warrior, with all his effects combined, Arthur climbs to 200 Power!! Covered in flame, hellfire and viscera, the blacksmith charges the monster, a purpose in his eyes, as the music around him once again swells to a fever pitch! The Dagger of the Broken Kiss pierces the Demon of Silence, in defiance of its invincibility, drawing a fountain of black blood! The demon's many heads seem unable to accept the sight, staring down in disbelief, as its fiery, central head dissipates in a sonorous puff!
The Demon of Silence is inflicted with Mortality Clarified!! This remarkably powerful debuff removes its ability to cast Bonefire Combustion entirely, reduces all stats by 1, and removes all Power gained from Harvester of Life, a 40 Power reduction! The Demon of Silence's overflowing rage and force have given way to fear and horror!
TRAINING MISSION COMPLETE! Arthur has become a master at taking a blow and striking back at the attacker, giving him a new Technique, Counter Swing! He may spend an action to prepare to counter the attack of a specific enemy, and may specify a particular attack if he chooses. The next time that enemy attacks, he will not only intercept the strike and attempt a counter-attack, but will redirect half of the intercepted attack's potential damage back! Not only does this boost the damage, but guarantees a portion of damage to be dealt!
Saul, Yam and Erika each attack the demon producing a -6% Power reduction.
Russel takes a defensive stance in front of Avelia! "Just a little more!"
Regiment 1-21 reduces the demon's power by an additional 4% and heals Severa for 184 HP!
The Demon of Silence rallies itself, firing a blast of flame at Yam! She is unable to repel the attack... but only takes 190 damage!
"And with the monster's blood drawn, we see a new dawn, and the City of Silence is freed!" Ormen shouts, finishing his work! Not wasting a moment, he grabs his flute and joins the rising song, adding his melody into the greater sound!
The Adagio of Peace is complete!
Emilia fires an arrow of healing at Severa, restoring 201 HP!
Avelia holds her baton steady...!
The Demon of Silence is going all out, trying to do something, anything! It throws one of its talons at Avelia, but Russel intercepts the attack! He takes 112 damage from the strike, but remains resolute! Enraged, the monster swings its blade around at Bran, but is stopped by Arthur, all while the music grows...!
"SSTTTOOPPPP...!" the demon begs with fifty different voices, as its fruitless attacks find no hold!
"I know not what force freed you upon this world," Avelia speaks to the demon, her body battered and bloodied, but her voice containing every last ounce of her strength. "But I shall see that you are returned to where you belong!"
The conductor swings her baton, as the music emanating from every weapon, wound and stone nearby rises, as if the earth itself is singing! "The music surrounding us is not some simple seal, but a story made song! Brought by these heroes and the castle they stand with!" She swings her baton back at Castle High itself, a massive, deep organ chord bringing harmony to the orchestra.
"I know what it's like to be afraid!" Ormen calls up, his voice nearly lost among the notes. "But it's alright! I understand my dream now: these are the people who will wake us all up and see us through the night! I've seen it now, I know they can!"
Around the Demon of Silence, the earth begins to shake and shudder, as massive cracks create a circle around it! From every stone and weapon, a golden chain emerges, binding itself to every part of the monster, from its flaming talons to its shrieking heads!
The tempo picks up, as the golden chains go taut, dragging the demon down, down, down! It slashes out with its talons and spits fire, but is far too weak to fight back! The earth beneath the demon gives way, a marble circular hole forming around its sinking form! With a final, whispered, "please...", the Demon of Silence is pulled entirely beneath the ground.
"Now, everyone! Finale!" Avelia yells.
With a triumphant swell, the music holds upon its final note as the stone vault begins to vibrate shut, a massive marble barrier covering the chasm! The illusionary mist and unending soot and embers raining from the sky begin to weaken and diminish, as the burning patches of earth and ruin nearby begin to flicker out. As the stone vault door closes with a bone-shaking thud, a series of notes and chords etches itself into the marble -- the notes of the Adagio of Peace, holding the seal tight. As the last bouncing notes of the song emanate, color and life begin to reappear in the world around the army.
...And then, the music is finally allowed to fade. For a moment, every soul waits and listens...
The flutter of birds. The calling of crickets and bugs. The sound of wind through the grass. Quiet, but no silence.
As the army and members of Nightdeaf's orchestra relax, Avelia drops to her knees, vomiting up soot and bile. A "thank god..." passes between her lips before she lowers herself onto her side.
Not wasting a moment, Russel begins to look around, "Support Regiments! We need help, fast! Lots of injured!" He runs over to Giada, looking at Vince for a moment before turning down toward her. "Giada, are you--"
The engineer coughs, trying for a moment to pull herself up, then letting herself fall onto her back. "I'm uncomfortable, want a nap, probably burned half my skin, have ash in every crevice of my body, and I'm worried I might not have hair anymore--" she coughed again, "--ow. But, I'll live. How you doin' big guy?"
Russel couldn't help but laugh at her inappropriate casualness, "I'll live too. C'mon, let me help you up."
A weary cheer begins to rise among the ranks of Castle High, as their greatest foe yet is returned to its earthly prison!

Bran, after the battle was over, took a moment to lick his wounds. He was in pretty bad shape, all things considered, even if his robe protected him from the flames. He would need to train harder from here on out.

Arthur let out a hoarse breath. Drenched in blood (his own could hardly be distinguished from that of the demon at this point), flecks of viscera, and sweat, he felt his mind start to slip backwards towards a dome of dragon bones and corpses... The smell certainly wasn't too far off. But that was then, and this was now... and Giada was awake.
Russel was already helping her stand back up... for some reason, he got the strong feeling that his ease at that sight was his cue to leave.
Before he started lumbering back up towards the castle, he dropped a gloved hand on Vince's shoulder, head angled down--
"...thank you."
--and left, without adding anything else.
>Arthur: Vote for Alchemical Refinery.

- while the conclusion of their song bound the demon with golden chains, the demon’s shadow seemed to have vanished completely, fallen head and all. arthur was in the air, blinded by the blood splashed in his eyes.:
“ARTHUUUUR!”
-as his blade left the demon’s flesh, the other voice roared, coarse with raw pain.
“Arthur... Arthur--” the voice choked- “Listen to me... listen to me... please... put down that goddamned sword for once in your life, there’s nothing for you at the end of all this!”
“It hurts... living after you’ve lost something precious... I know. All you can do is take what’s in your hands and keep working... to keep the pain away... you...”
“...you... you... can’t hear me... in this silence...”- ”...can... you...?”:
“...Arthur, you already know... how this will end... but it’s okay to stop fighting... if you’re tired.”
His voice was gentle. And it took its time, each word like his lumbering gait... patient, steady. Careful, above all else; ever loathe to cause any harm. It was a voice the swordsman’s ear remained sharply tuned to even now- whether he liked it or not- yet even as the music around them swelled to the peak of ifs deafening crescendo, it...
“...if you decide it’s too much... the least I can do is wait for you. I was... such a burden to you... and maybe, you don’t think I’m real...”
“--but if it puts your heart at ease... you won’t have to be alone when you go back to sleep...”- ...it already wasn’t right-- but something about it changed. As his feet touched the ground again, did it... start sounding more confident?:
“That much is genuine, Arthur... I assure you.”
“You can rely on me.”

- He would wait.:
Among the treasures bestowed to their forces lay a striking piece: an amulet, set aglow by heroic tales... He disregarded it, at first; but as he worked throughout the following days-- begrudgingly accepting there was little he could do to improve his sword without the assistance of enchantment-- it continued to call him back again and again...
--no, he could never meet the expectations of such a thing. The tale of a hero who rallied the hopes of many was a far cry from anything the swordsman could achieve: he was too far gone, too deep in who he'd become to honor such ideals.
If the days would pass, and if that amulet continued to wait... he might roll out of bed in the middle of the night, woken abruptly by another vision of beheading his only friend-- and in a frenzy of desperate determination, fling his evil raiments into an empty chamber of the Fusion Core... that impossible shining star soon following after.
He could not "be" a hero. But if he could look and act the part to make someone smile...
...that would be enough.

- Star Arms:
- As the equipment you utilize (and battle against) become more and more powerful, you may come across particularly powerful items known as STAR ARMS. STAR ARMS are the strongest weapons and armor in the game, all sporting not only great stats, but unique modifiers not found anywhere else. A STAR ARM cannot be destroyed by any means, and cannot be claimed by force -- a fighter with a STAR ARM will only part with it by their own free will. Needless to say, a fighter using such a piece of equipment should be considered a formidible threat.
As players, the most common source of this endgame equipment is through fusing or refining high-level items, unlocking their latent potential. An item becoming a STAR ARMS signifies that it likely cannot be improved any further, and any more improvements will be minor. If powerful equipment you own does not bear this title, it still has hidden potential!
The term STAR ARMS was provided by Zephre. He explained that such items were the pinnacle of his people's creations, fated to someday create new constellations from the stories they would weave, legends in the making.

CHOOSE A CASTLE
- The Army of the Aethon Sol - Lv 17:
- The Army of the Aethon Sol - Lvl 15 Crusaders Against the Arcane
Reconnaissance Report: The Church of the Aethon Sol is a large religious organization scattered throughout this and surrounding countries. Worshiping Iros, god of light and charity, the followers of the church are usually peaceful individuals. The sole exception is their hatred of magic and its practitioners, a fact that makes their worship less prominent in this country. On rare occasion, the church has been known to organize crusades into lands they deem especially tainted in order to weed out witchcraft, though these typically only targeted specific towns. The crusade currently sweeping in from the east is by far the largest ever recorded, with troops outnumbering our army 3 to 2. A significant number of these combatants are Knights of the Aethon Sol, highly trained and incredibly dangerous warriors. It is currently unknown how they were influenced to attack the country at the same time as the other incoming forces.
Critical Information:- The knights of the Aethon Sol are some of the best equipped warriors in the world. Their armor and weaponry are unparalleled, making causalities among their ranks very rare. They are also specifically trained in countering all forms of magic. This usually leaves their enemies with no choice but to face them in physical combat, where they are most powerful.
- The enemy does not have a castle, but instead a war camp that is moved every morning. If this war camp is destroyed, the crusaders will have no choice but to retreat.
- The enemy force outnumbers us 3 to 2, though the number of knights is likely less.
- The teachings of Iros place value in compassion and honor. While the very existence of this crusade brings into question these beliefs, appealing to the honor or pride of the knights may be an effective means of resolving the conflict.
New Threats:- Magic users and their allies have been persecuted, tried, and executed as the war band continues toward Castle Low. In doing so, the Church's warriors have grown more experienced and more adept at countering and cutting down mages.
- Reports have confirmed that multiple high-ranking Knights of the Aethon Sol have been spotted joining the crusade. These warriors wield intense, divine power, allowing them to protect and revive their allies and smite all who oppose them.
Potential Rewards:- Some of the highest quality weaponry and armor available.
- The supplies from their war camp would be enough to sustain Castle High for at least a month, well enough time to pursue its other campaigns.
Risks If Left Alone:- Rumors have surfaced that the knights are not only killing mages, but enslaving them. If left alone, they may find some use for these enslaved magic users to empower their war efforts substantially.
- A letter was intercepted requesting the aid of the Divine Order, the most powerful of the Aethon Sol's forces. If the Divine Order arrives, it is unknown if any strategy or power currently held by Castle High's forces will be sufficient to stop them from causing incredible damage.
- The knights of the Aethon Sol are some of the best equipped warriors in the world. Their armor and weaponry are unparalleled, making causalities among their ranks very rare. They are also specifically trained in countering all forms of magic. This usually leaves their enemies with no choice but to face them in physical combat, where they are most powerful.
- The Dreadnought of Bertila - Lvl 17:
- The Dreadnought of Bertila - Lvl 15 Unstoppable Army of Steel
Reconnaissance Report: Bertila and our country have had an uneasy ceasefire for the last several decades. While there have been several incidents, neither side ever wanted to commit to drawn-out, full-scale war. Apparently, Bertila was informed of the current plight of our country, and has come to take advantage with a powerful shock army. The force is highly mechanized, largely consisting of vehicles, flying machines, and personal mech suits. Though Bertila has the same level of technology as our own country, the massive scale and manufacturing power behind their tech allows them to take much better militaristic use of it. Their crown jewel is their Dreadnought, a metallic castle that is currently crawling across the country on eight giant legs, headed straight for Castle High. To even fight them, Castle High will need to hover nearby, and forces will need to leap onto the Dreadnought and do battle there.
Critical Information:- Enemy posses powerful technological weapons, including mech suits and flying machines. These weapons make up for their lack of magical effects with their sheer killing efficiency and high maneuverability.
- The military of Bertila is highly trained in army-against-army warfare. They will likely be one of the most tactically difficult foes to overcome, having a long history of out-smarting and out-maneuvering their opponents in order to obtain victory.
- The high speed at which the Dreadnought moves will require Castle High to fly alongside it and forces to repel to the Dreadnought itself to destroy it. This will likely mean a dissolution of conventional formations, and may force our armies to be split.
- Because of its mechanical nature, the Dreadnought likely has exploitable weaknesses somewhere within its structure, including its engines and legs. However, the Bertila will already know of these weaknesses, and may expect us to target them.
New Threats:- The Dreadnought has torn its way through outer towns and villages, wiping out anyone offering any resistance. It has re-purposed any and all precious metals, oil, and gunpowder into improving its elite units. These mechanical enemies will be more powerful and dangerous.
- Reports have confirmed that the Bertila military has begun employing its powerful military tactics, including well-defined unit divisions and tactical codewords the Recon Division has not been able to crack. They should be seen s a tactical threat unlike any other.
- The Dreadnought is quickly entering striking distance of Castle Low, and should be able to fire upon the castle with its long-range weapons any day now.
Potential Rewards:- The technological power of the fortress would make for valuable crafting materials, particularly for more modern weaponry and armor.
- The Dreadnought's incredible structure could allow for powerful upgrades to Castle High, including outer plating, more advanced weapon systems, and potentially a translation system similar to the Dreadnought's legs.
Risks If Left Alone:- Plans for a devestating new weapon have been uncovered by recon agents. If given time, this weapon could pose an incredible threat the Castle High, Castle Low, and the country in general.
- Though the forces of Bertila have organized their military, it is likely they don't have ample information about the capabilities of our current forces. If given time, however, it is very likely they main learn how to specifically counter our forces.
- The Dreadnought's ranged weapons will cause considerable damage to Castle Low, an attack that could destabilize the country as a whole, and if given more time, could allow it to take and annihilate the entirety of the castle.
- Enemy posses powerful technological weapons, including mech suits and flying machines. These weapons make up for their lack of magical effects with their sheer killing efficiency and high maneuverability.
- The Flying Fortress - Lvl ??:
- The Flying Fortress - Lvl ?? Inevitable Monolith of Portent
Reconnaissance Report: All attempts to gain further information about the size or powers of the Flying Fortress have lead to mass casualties, with no survivors. Reconnaissance of the fortress has been suspended until further notice. (Scarlett note: I know it sucks, but I can't look at my agents and order them to their guaranteed deaths...) From all available information, it seems to be equipped with powerful, magic-based artillery, and contains a vast amount of power (evidenced by the spiraling purple clouds which follow it everywhere). Despite these dangers, it is the slowest moving threat, and besides destroying anyone who approaches it, is causing no harm to the country.
Critical Information:- None
Potential Rewards:- An end to a massive threat to our country and our people.
Risks If Left Alone:- With no information, it is difficult to predict what will happen if felt alone. That being said, its lack of interaction with its surroundings and apparently-unchanging appearance seem to imply there is no great risk in leaving this castle alone.
- None
CHOOSE 2 LEADERS
Russel (Primed) - All-around strong commander. His sword is a capable weapon that excels at dealing with large groups of enemies. His unique Morale ability gives allies more momentum when succeeding, leading to his command abilities providing huge boosts to everyone's performance and keeping up the lead.
Giada (Tireded) - Defensive adaptable engineer. Wears a suit of mechanical armor that blocks attacks, protects others, and retaliates. Her suit can also be quickly adapted to take the best advantage of her surroundings and give her allies unique opportunities.
Rosemary (Primed) - Protective supporting healer. She holds a magic ring that amplifies her supportive magic, restoring the health of allies and giving them quick bursts of performance enhancement. If given time to focus, she can quickly perform multiple of these techniques simultaneously without fail.
Scarlett (Rested) - Agile tricky infiltrator. Her needles are weak, but have high utility and can inflict nasty debuffs. Prefers to infiltrate the enemy forces for recon and sabotage, passing on useful information and striking key weak points. Excels at finding and exploiting enemy weaknesses.
Corbin (Rested) - Dangerous navigator. His gun isn't very damaging, and is better for suppressing enemy offenses and keeping dangerous enemies pinned down. He has a trick, however: after charging it up for enough turns, he can fire Castle High's thruster cannons to deal massive damage to all enemies.
Zaffre (Primed) - Chaotic unpredictable astromancer. Doesn't really do much fighting himself unless he comes under fire, but with his powerful fate-gazing apparatuses, can create powerful buffs, debuffs and crucial information. He's an unpredictable wildcard, and what bonuses he provides might not seem very helpful... at first.
NEW! Candice (Primed) - Supportive gun-slinging chronomancer. Her time-bending weapons can change the tempo of battle by slowing her enemies and speeding along her allies, creating unique statuses rarely found elsewhere. A bit of an all-arounder, she's particularly helpful when dealing with enemies with bizarre and overwhelming powers.

Castle Vote - The Knights of the Aethon Sol. Their unjust behavior rankles the pride of mages everywhere, and I am no exception. I will strike them down with my own two hands...er, blades. Blades, I mean.
Leader Votes - Rosemary and Corbin. If we do not face the Knights, however, I would substitute Scarlett over Corbin, as her infiltration will undoubtedly be invaluable in taking down the Dreadnought.

- Cutscene:
- Giada stifles a yawn as she saunters into the commander's meeting, scratching her side. A few of the other commanders flash her concerned looks, but she waves them off, "don't worry, everyone. Those Regiment 1-31 boys kept me safe. A good shower and a day off my feet and I'm feeling plenty alright."
Russel gives her a smile as she sits down, "really glad to hear it. And good performance from everyone! That was one of the most dangerous enemies we've ever faced, but we managed to walk away with minimal casualties."
"Thank goodness," Rosemary sighs, placing a hand to her temple. "It was hard enough healing the injuries from the hellfire as-is."
"Don't start relaxing yet: we still have two big problems out there," Scarlett tosses a few files onto their meeting table, folding her arms. "And that's not even counting the giant fucking ominous one."
"Dark portents..." mutters Zaffre.
"What was that?" Russel asks.
"Dark portents," the astrologer repeats, turning his cold gaze toward the commander. "A beast with three heads, each growing stronger as the others are felled..." He shakes his head slowly, "I know not what this 'other version' of myself is planning, but I grow more and more sure we are but players on his stage, distracted by his minions."
"And so you think we should let the whole country die?" Corbin retorts with disgust. "Disgusting, such a lack of care for human life."
Zaffre seems to grow agitated, "you all show a lack of common sense. We control nothing in this situation, and he controls it all. We don't even know why we're on this castle, and I'm beginning to believe that was all part of his plan as well! We should take our fight to that Flying Fortress now, before we are too late!"
"We are not sacrificing the lives of civilians--" Rosemary stands.
"We are already sacrificing the lives of everyone by jeopardizing the world's safety!" Zaffre shouts with magical force, levitating a few inches off the ground. "You short-sighted children don't seem to understand that the powers at work here are mighty enough to end this world and all its people! If this other version of myself controls the same power as I do, of Creation, giving him more time to Create whatever he's planning will surely doom us all! The only reason he would take so long to approach is because he believes victory to be assured--!"
"Everyone, everyone, please! Sit back down, it's alright!" Russel intervenes, raising his hands and pleading with his eyes for them each to return to their seats. One by one, they do so, still carrying glares. The young soldier sighs, "look. I know the situation right now isn't great. There's a lot of problems, and we don't have a lot of time to think about what's going on." He turns to their newest member, "Zaffre, I really appreciate your input. You make a good point, and I'd like you to keep working with Scarlett whenever you can to figure out just what could be going on." He hesitates a moment, "however..."
Russel rests a hand on the sword at his waist, "we do know why we were left in this castle: to protect the kingdom from threats before they can arise. We still have the chance to do so. So let's do what we always have! Work together, fight together, and protect our country! And whatever comes after that... well, we'll face it together."
---
After a few more inconsequential points of order, the meeting is concluded, and the commanders begin leak out, seeing to what business they can before the next jump (Corbin in particular seems brooding, perhaps not over the meeting's scuffle).
As you leave, Russel grabs you by the shoulder, "oh hey, while you're heading back, could you gather the rest of your Regiment? Your buddy Candice has a few announcements she wanted to get to all of you. I told her to wait down by your dorms." He gives you a pat on the shoulder, "thanks! And hey, great work out there yesterday! Haha, I'm not sure what we'd do without you and your friends!"
--------------------------------------------------
A scant hour later, the majority of Regiment 1-31 was gathered in their dormitory, their attention turned to a slightly-anxious-looking Candice. She wears her usual suit jacket and tie, and passes out the new round of Training Missions as each member enters. Once the Regiment's entirety had mustered, she calls for the group's attention. "Hello, everyone. For starters, I want to thank each of you for all the hard work you've put in. Not only have you lead the castle to victory, but I'm constantly impressed by your continual improvement. Honestly!" She smiles brightly. "It's really quite outstanding how exceptional you all are." She gives a bow, "I can confidently say that I'm honored to work with you all."
"...Speaking of which," she hesitates, "I, actually wanted to inform you all of a bit of a... staffing, reshuffle." She checks her clipboard, then looks up at the group's resident archer. "Emilia?"
Emilia nods back, coming to stand by Candice, "hey everyone. I've been talking about this lately with Candice and some of the commanders. Uh, sorry if this comes off as a bit sudden, but well... I asked for a transfer." She gives a humble shrug, "honestly? I just can't keep up with you all. Most of you got crazy magic, divine powers, unbreakable defenses... as much of a shame as it is to say, a lady with a bow just can't fight in the same league." She slings her bow and bag over her shoulder, "I'm not quitting the fight or anything, mind 'ya -- like I told you back in the forest, I'm staying here 'til I can get some payback on the bastard who wiped out my mom. But... well, I gotta make sure I'm still around long enough to help out my little sister, y'know? Don't want her to lose two guardians. So, yeah, I'm transferring to Regiment 1-21. After seeing them fight yesterday, I think I could fit in well. Heh, and maybe I'll show them a couple pointers I picked up from watching all you." She gives a little wave, heading out, "I'll still be around the Living Quarters and all if you want to talk or play with Gnasher, but I guess this is goodbye on the battlefield, at least. Keep bringin' them hell, you all. We're so close, I can feel it."
As the archer made her exit, Candice cut back in, "after some further discussion with the other commanders, it was decided this would be a good opportunity to do something we'd considered for a while. The victories achieved by Regiment 1-31 are the single most important component to our success on the battlefield. Thus," she held up two fingers, "from now on, you'll be assigned two commanders to help you fight. Though this will slightly decrease cohesion in the other groups, it should help make sure you all succeed in your critical battles."
"...And, related to that," she adds once more. "Um... well, although I'm certainly no commander, I've managed to get ahead on my reconnaissance objectives, and with permission from Commander Scarlett... well, if you all so wished -- and I really must insist it's up to your discretion -- but if you so wished, I could fight alongside you as a 'commander' as well." She reaches her free hand down to open her suit jacket, revealing a handgun entwined with temporal energy. "I've grown much more proficient in my time-altering abilities from my experience in the Reconnaissance Division. Not time travel or anything like that, but slowing, speeding, stopping, and rewinding are all quite achievable. I've been able to speed up applies so they can act more frequently, or reset entities to a prior state they once held. The other commanders are quite remarkable, of course, but, if you believed such powers could benefit you, by all means."
She blinked, then bowed her head, "I apologize, this is probably a lot of information all at once -- regardless, I hope you choose your new commanders wisely. That should be everything..." she checks her clipboard again," ...yes, seems so. Excellent, then I shall see you all later-- oh, and one more time: good job!" she gives a little thumbs up, hesitates a few seconds more, and then quickly exits the dormitory chambers.

- Signature Techniques:
- With the end of our adventure quickly approaching, it's time the members of Regiment 1-31 developed something special! This time, instead of standard Training Missions, all active fighters have gained a Signature Mission -- once completed, it will unlock a Signature Technique!
If you've played a previous game in this genre, you may be familiar with what a Signature Technique is. Normally, you gain an assigned Technique upon completing a relevant Training Mission. While these Techniques are based on your actions, you do not develop them personally. That's where Signature Techniques come in: in essence, they are techniques that you get to design! While you won't be able to control the specifics of their Power or scaling, you'll be able to define the Technique's effects as you see fit.
Whenever you perform any action, you may claim that action as helping to "define" your Signature Technique. If you do so, you will gain 1/4 progress toward the Signature Mission's completion. Once you've completed four such actions, you'll gain your Technique! It's up to you how varied your four defining actions are: if you choose four entirely unrelated actions, you'll likely get a very general and utility-focusedde Technique that's somewhat lacking in potency, and if your four actions are very related, you'll gain a similarly focused Technique.
This is your chance to really personalize your build! Feel free to take actions your character "can't" do (for example, using magic if they've never used it before, using some stance they've never used before, etc.) to push them to unexplored territory!
