Dialogue[edit]

Aurelia
When will my father finally come home?
Matteo
My apologies, but your father is off on a mission right now...
Aurelia
But the war's over! What sort of mission could he be on? Tell me the truth, now! Where is he?
Matteo
I'm afraid that information is classified, and I am not at liberty to discuss it.
Aurelia
Ugh! Fine, forget you!
Aurelia walks away.
Matteo
You're the Garfont Mercenaries, huh?
We hired some mercs ourselves recently, but they haven't made it back from the field yet...
There was a bit of trouble with Mor Ardain out in Temperantia, right?
Well, we sent four really tough guys on a surveillance mission. Just keeping an eye on the Ardainian army and that.
But then the war never came, and we found ourselves with a nice, easy armistice.
The order to withdraw was sent out, but they're still not back... Maybe it never reached them, I don't know.
If we send our troops to find them, the Ardainians might well get the wrong idea. The fighting might start up again.
So we're stuck. We can't send anyone out on a search mission, so we're left hoping they'll just turn up...
Which is where you lot come in.
We'd like to ask you to man a search mission. Find Bonard and his men and bring them back. What do you say?
Matteo
You will? Thank you!
We know that Bonard's squad was over by the Aegishammer on the first day.
After that, though... We've had no contact, and they could be anywhere.
To start with, you could head to the Aegishammer, seeing what you uncover from there.
Matteo
That girl from before is Bonard's daughter, by the way. Only child.
I sent her away, said it was classified... But she's just as worried as I am, if not more.
For her sake, I hope you come back with good news...

Search for signs of the mercenaries[edit]

Rex
Hmm... I wonder if these footprints are from Bonard's squad.
Well, it can't hurt to have a closer look!
Nia
What are these footprints doing here?
Maybe the mercenaries left them. Better have a closer look.
Tora
Meh-meh! Is footprints! Having strange feeling about print-prints.
Maybe Tora investigate!
Mòrag
Could these tracks have been left by the mercenaries?
They certainly warrant further investigation.
Zeke
Footprints! Do you think they've come from our missing mercenaries?
Best to check them out.

Follow the footprints you discovered by the Aegishammer[edit]

Rex
The grave of an Urayan mercenary...
Maybe it's one of Bonard's squad.
The others must still be around here somewhere.
Nia
This is the grave of an Urayan mercenary, isn't it?
D'you reckon it might be one of the squad we're looking for?
We'd better find the others. They can't have gone far from here.
Tora
Meh-meh?! Look like burying place for Urayan mercenary...
Maybe something happen to squad of Bonard.
Must find soon. If lucky, squad still somewhere nearby!
Mòrag
So we find ourselves at the grave of an Urayan mercenary.
Perhaps it belongs to one of the squad that we seek.
We mustn't let this dampen our spirit. The others may yet be found.
Zeke
What is this, now? An Urayan mercenary's final resting place...
One of Bonard's squad, perhaps?
But our task isn't over yet! The others may still be nearby!

Follow the footprints you discovered by the Malignant Gorge[edit]

The party is walking around before being confronted by an Urayan mercenary.
Urayan Mercenary
You followin' us?!
Ardainian curs! You won't take us without a fight!
Rex
They don't sound like they're willing to talk...
Looks like we'll have to fight!
Nia
Who you calling a dog? Still, looks like they're not here to make friends!
We've gotta fight!
Tora
Meh-meh?! Tora no puppypon! Is adorable Nopon!
If you want fight, we give fight!
Mòrag
Hm. Typical Urayans.
Still, if they're looking to let off some steam, I'm of a mind to let them.
Zeke
Calling the Zekenator a dog?! How very dare you!
Well, I wouldn't accuse them of wanting a chat, so looks like a fight it is!

Defeat the mercs you've tracked[edit]

Geoffili
*Huff* So strong... *Puff*
We never stood a chance...
Do what you want with us...
But you're a fool if you think you can make us talk!
The scene fades to black for a moment.
Geoffili
Ah... I see...
So we're not fighting with the Ardainians, then...
Thanks for coming to get us out. Appreciate you doin' that for us.
But I got one more thing I gotta do before I head home.
Geoffili
Since you were followin' us, I guess you saw the grave a while back, huh?
Geoffili
So you did... Yeah, that was one of our guys.
Our squad leader, Bonard.
Geoffili
We merc types, we like to bury the dead where they fell. It's our way of sayin' goodbye, sendin' em off well.
But me? That ain't enough for me. I like to put a man's soul to rest by taking down the bastard that killed 'em.
So we chased after the dirty rats that killed Bonard, but...
It didn't turn out so well for us.
With four of us we still lost a man. So goin' against 'em with three was real bad.
So we decided to come back to camp to rest up, so to speak.
Geoffili
You're sayin' you guys will avenge Bonard for us?
Geoffili
I don't know what to say... Thank you.
Bonard's killer should be somewhere up ahead.
We'll wait back by his grave, pay some respects and all.
I'll be hoping for good news, but don't go dyin' yourself now.

Speak with Geoffili[edit]

Geoffili
It ain't much, but you got the gratitude of this old mercenary.
Hopefully Bonard's at rest now he's been avenged.
Geoffili
He's got a kid back home. Aurelia. Well, I say kid, but she's all grown up.
He kept sayin' his little girl was gettin' married soon. That he had to get home to her, no matter what.
Seems like the worst kind of irony. Here's a guy that's seen more than his share of battles and pulled through...
And this time round, when it mattered more than ever before, he's not gonna be comin' home.
Party member: Silence
Geoffili
...About time for us to head back to Uraya, I guess.
This mission's over, but I still gotta take the news to Aurelia.
Don't mention anything if you in to her. She deserves to hear it from me.
Geoffili
Thanks.

Report back to Matteo[edit]

Matteo
Ah, you're back. Have you found them?
Matteo
I see...
Well, that's a real blow. He was a good man.
If only we'd managed to get the message to them...
Party member: Silence
Matteo
But you still managed to extract three good men from a sticky situation. That alone is worth commending.
I'll get the rest from Geoffili when we debrief them. They should be back soon.
Thank you. It seems your reputation is well-deserved.
