Setting - North-West Karnaccan Steppe

Roly: Query: Are we nearing our intended destination of Verna by any chance?

Nina: Judging from our current whereabouts, I'd say we'll need to cut through this forest up ahead.

Nina: Then once we arrive in Moneta, we'll need to locate the docks and book passage aboard a ship.

Goopy: Goopy-goop!

Nina: That said, Moneta's still some distance away. How about we stop in Sylvad for a little break

Roly: Nina, may I say that your familiarity with this region is most impressive.

Nina: You could say that... I familiarized myself with the topography of the area, at least.

Roly: Your knowledge will be of great service! Come, [Hero Name]. We have places to be and people to meet!

Quin: As for you... Are you really [Hero Name]?

Roly: (beep!) You do not recognise your own apprentice!? Perhaps we should ask whether you are [Hero Name]'s real mentor!

Nina: Sir Quin! Please, sheathe your sword.

Quin: Hmph...

Quin: Hahaha! The looks on your faces! I was only pulling your leg!

Quin: There's no mistaking the look in those eyes. You're [Hero Name], no shadow of a doubt.

Quin: I must admit, I'm a little surprised to be crossing paths with you here of all places.

Roly: Standing down alert status ...So, your designation is Quin, captain of the Dragon Wings, correct?

Roly: And implicit in my question is that you are the real Quin, not a fiendish facsimile.

Quin: Hmm... I could tel you yes, but then how would you know for sure? I can't think of a way to prove it.

Nina ...If you truly are Sir Quin, then surely you must know who I am.

Quin: Lady Nina. And there was me foolishly hoping you'd stay somewhere safe.

Quin: But your urge to leap to the aid of others was never one you could control, was it?

Quin: Like when you were young. You always insisted on foraging in the forest for herbs to treat your sister.

Quin: I went with you, of course, but it seems you're still fearless in the face of danger.

Nina: Hehe, I remember that! It really is you, Sir Quin!

Roly: Is this what humans refer to as an emotional reunion? Intriguing...

Quin [Hero Name], your presence here can only mean one thing... You passed the trial. Am I correct?

Quin: In which case, I believe it's due time you show me what you've got.

Quin: Just know, I shall give you no quarter, and I expect none in return. Ready?

Quin: Not bad, [Hero Name]. Not bad at all. By the look of it, my teachings have not been wasted on you.

Quin: You've acquired a few more skills since we last crossed paths, too.

Nina: Heehee.

Quin: Hmm? I'm glad our performance proved entertaining, my lady!

Nina: Forgive me. Only... when you addressed [Hero Name], I sensed warmth behind that stern scowl of yours. It was sweet, really.

Quin: Ahem... Yes, well, that's enough of that!

Roly: Excuse the interruption, [Hero Name], but perhaps now would be the opportune time to give Sir Quin the letter.

Quin: A letter? Let me have a look.

[Hero Name] hands Quin the letter from Zepha.

Quin: ......

Quin: I see. This confirms you passed the initiation. Congratulations, and allow me to extend a proper welcome.

Quin: This long-awaited reunion calls for a celebratory feast!

Roly: I do believe he received the letter with happiness. You must be proud of yourself, [Hero Name]!

Quin: Oh, and Roly, is it? You have my thanks for keeping an eye on [Hero Name] through the trial.

Quin: The letter also mentioned something about an Adventure Log S and the Goddess, but first things first...

Nina: The rift's alpha!

Roly: Come on, [Hero Name]!

Roly: Oh, and captain, it's a pleasure to be fighting by your side!

Quin: Likewise, my spherical comrade!

Quin: The thick of the forest awaits!

Roly: (beep) My sensors are not registering the alpha in the vicinity.

Goopy: Goop-oop!

Nina: What's the matter, Goopy? ...Oh!

Quin: A horde of monsters blocks our path... Conceal yourselves, and let us monitor their movements for a moment.

Robed Figure: ......

Roly: (beep!-beep!) That robed figure looks familiar!

Quin: ......

Nina: We encountered him at Karnaccus. He used a strange sigil to bring an alpha back from the dead and make it stronger.

Nina: But as to his true identity ...we are none the wiser.

Quin: So it's safe to assume his appearance alongside a rift is no mere coincidence.

The orc that spots the party.

Goopy: Goop-oop!

Nina: Well done, Goopy. Goopy has confirmed the horde is heading farther into the forest. Let's follow them.

Orc: Oi, wot you fink you're up to, eh?

Roly: We've been spotted!

Quin: Leave this one to me. [Hero Name]. You and Lady Nina must not let the robed figure get away!

Roly: Understood, captain!

Robed Figure: Good... Everything is progressing as intended.

Orc Chieftain: Thank you, my lord. The humans grow ever more suspicious of each other.

The orc chieftain that converses with the Robed Figure.

Orc Chieftain: Soon they'll be at each other's throats. It won't be long until the town falls.

Orc Chieftain: And Verna is already within our grasp. Everything is proceeding as planned.

Robed Figure: Indeed...

Nina: Verna...? They must be part of the Dread Fiend's Army!

Roly: What are your orders, [Hero Name]? Do we attack now?

Yes	No

	Robed Figure: Who's there?
	Robed Figure: Well if it isn't the little rats from before. Can't stop scuttling around, can you?
	Robed Figure: You there! Take care of this vermin. [An animation plays of the Robed Figure using purple magic to disappear]
	Nina: He's gone!
	Orc Chieftain: Guess you'll just have to deal with me!
	Roly: Over to you, [Hero Name]!

Roly:Keep your chin up. We won't know for certain what has happened until we see Verna for ourselves.

Goopy: Goop-goop!

Nina: You know what, you're right! Thank you, both of you.

Roly: Where is the Captain? Shouldn't he be here yet?

Nina: He IS running a bit late... I hope nothing has happened to him.

(BOOM!)

Nina: By the Goddess! That sounded as if it came from deeper in the forest! [Hero Name], Roly, we should go and investigate.

• Note: There are two separate characters named "Quin?" in this scene. Their talk portraits are identical in appearance, but take turns speaking.

Setting - Sylvald Forest

Quin?: By the Goddess!

Quin?: Egad!

Roly: Two captains!?

Nina: Which can only mean... one of them is the real Quin, and the other is a float-o-copier!

Roly: Calculating... There is a high probability that there are other float-o-copiers besides the one we just defeated.

Roly: The question is, which one is which!? I cannot tell one from the other!

Quin? Lend me thy hand, [Hero Name]! Together we will defeat the imposter!

Quin? I can deal with this by myself! But if you really want to help, be my guest!

Roly: Well, [Hero Name]? should we attack one of them?

Yes	No
[Hero Name] Attacks Quin!	This section is a stub. You can help by expanding it.
Quin?: Gahhh!
Nina: Oh my! Look! Sir Quin——he's changing!
Float-o-Copier: Confound it all! Confound it all! I can't believe you saw through my ruse so easily, so easily!
Float-o-Copier Swarm 'em, Swarm 'em! And don't let your guard down, don't let your guard down!
Monsters: GRROOOAAAR!
Roly: Bless my bytes! That's the biggest horde I have ever seen, and they're coming straight for us!
Quin: Come one, come all! Leave no foe standing, you hear!
Quin: [Hero Name], leave the small fry to me.
Quin: And please... Teach that float-o-copier a lesson it won't soon forget!
Float-o-Copier: In your dreams, your dreams. You're going to regret this, regret this.

Nina: Sir Quin! Thank the Goddess you're alright.
Roly: That was a remarkably large number of opponents. And you took them down single-handed, no less.
Quin: It was nothing. It doesn't even matter how many there of them there are, small fry ever remain small fry.
Roly: Engaging admiration circuits... Incredible! Just incredible...
Quin: As for you, [Hero Name]...
Quin: Excellent work uncovering the monsters' plot. It fills me with pride to call you one of my students.
Roly: Query: What would you have done if [Hero Name] had gone for the real you?
Quin: I figured the fiend would have used it as an opportunity to turn on [Hero Name], and I would have exploited the opening.
Quin: Thankfully you knew it was me all along, hey? Hahaha!
Quin: Anyway, enough joking around. The alpha must be somewhere nearby. Keep your wits about you.
Nina: Yes, sir!

Setting - Sylvald

Roly: Tweak my transitors! The fog has lifted!

Man: I can't recall the last time I saw the sky... Thank you, travellers!

Nina: You are most welcome. I'm just happy we were able to help.

Nina: It truly is a welcome sight to see the smiles on everyone's faces.

Quin: It certainly is.

Roly: Nina, wasn't there something you wanted to tell the group?

Nina: First of all, [Hero Name]. Thank you so much for letting me accompany you.

Nina: The truth is, I simply must get to Verna, no matter what. You see...

Nina: I am a princess of Verna... Second in line, to be exact.

Roly: (beep) Prediction confirmed. My initial analysis of the situation was correct.

Nina: When I heard the Dread Fiend's army had invaded Verna, I finally understood.

Nina: My father, my retainers, everything they did, they did to protect me——to keep me away from the ravages of war.

Nina: But I can't sit by any longer. That's why I asked [Hero Name] and Roly to help me find my way back home.

Nina: But I couldn't stop thinking, is that really the right decision?

Nina: I mean, what can I do? I'm not a warrior. I can't go out there and actually fight.

Nina: I was afraid that, if I returned, everything those who tried to keep me safe did, all that effort, would be for nothing.

Nina: And the more I thought about it, the more I doubted that returning to Verna was the right thing to do.

Quin: ......

Nina: But I've made up my mind... I'm going back.

Nina: I couldn't live with myself if I hid away in peace and comfort while my beloved home and its people faced certain doom.

Nina: I might not be able to fight, but I must do what I can to protect the people of Verna all the same.

Roly: Nina...

Nina: [Hero Name], Roly, I wouldn't have made it this far without you.

Nina: Once I had made the decision to return to Verna, I knew I had to tell you the truth.

Nina: My only regret is that I did not do so sooner.

Quin: You haven't changed one bit... Your Highness.

Quin: No matter what stands in your way, you soldier on until your task is complete.

Quin: I could say the same of you, Sir Quin. No one has done more to keep Verna safe than you.

Nina: Will you continue to lend me your aid and accompany me to Verna?

Quin: Your wish is my command, Your Highness. That was my intention all along.

Roly: I would have expected nothing less from the former captain of the Vernan knights.

Nina: Thank you, Sir Quin. It means a great deal to have you by my side.

Nina: [Hero Name], Roly.

Nina: The journey to Verna will be fraught with danger, and I'm sure even greater challenges await us when we arrive...

Nina: Knowing this...may I still count on your help?

Yes	No
Quin: Good answer	Quin: You're a real joker, aren't you? That's one area where you don't need to follow in your mentor's footsteps.
Nina: Thank you, [Hero Name]	Nina: Heehee. [Hero Name] seems to really like you, Sir Quin

Nina: I am in your debt.

Nina: Well then, we have a long journey ahead of us. To Verna! ||

Roly: Onward!
