Let's Play Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones

[RagingKrikkit]

(Edit: 6 Mar 2015: When this was originally posted, I was operating under the username "YakYak", and I'm not going to ask everybody in this thread to edit their three-year-old posts as well.)

Okay, I may be getting in over my head with this, but I've had this idea rolling around my head for a while. With the first half of Illven's misadventures in Fire Emblem comming to a close, I'm going to toss in my set of cards with a playthrough of the other GBA Fire Emblem game, Sacred Stones. This will be slightly different than the standard method of narration in an LP on this forum, for instead of placing a character within the context of the story, I will instead be taking on the role of the narrator, making this a whole different style of writing than other writings here. I know that my last Fire Emblem game did not end well, but after gaining some experience with my nuzlocke and seeing how Illven handles the large size of chapters in Fire Emblem games, I think that I can keep this story going. Standard LP guidelines are in effect, namely that suggestions for who to bring and support are welcome, but I retain veto power. Anyway, here are the rules, and then on with the show!

Note: I strongly suggest listening to the music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsKg_uUq9pA) for this sequence, as this is some of the most awesome music to come from a GBA ever.

Rules:
1: No reloads, except in the event of lord death.

2: If a lord is defeated, I will restart the chapter and finish it without using that lord and attempting to recreate the events of the attempt where the lord was defeated (most notably, deliberately re-killing any others lost during the level.) Punishment for such a failure will be determined by popular vote.

3: No tower/arena abuse. Arenas may be used during a level, as long as I do not deliberately delay the end of the level to grind in the arena.

4: If I waste potential experience, deal with it.

The princess of Renais held her bracelet up to show to her father. It was a masterful piece of workmanship, silver with gold highlights holding a blue stone in the center of its elaborate engravings.

Characters that speak in this chapter:
Eirika
Seth

[Illven]

I assume that EirikaxEphraim is a banned pairing? :smalltongue:


May the RNG goddess be with you.

[RagingKrikkit]

Actually, EirikaxEphriam never struck me as incestual, and besides, C. S. Lewis wrote a story about brothers and sisters being kings and queens together without any trouble.

[Farix]

Ooo looking forward to this run!

I got a kick out of you tying the image of Joshua with victory and L'Arachel with defeat.

[RagingKrikkit]

I was just kinda going as it went, but they do go down as my most and least favorite characters in this game.

[Illven]

Actually, EirikaxEphriam never struck me as incestual, and besides, C. S. Lewis wrote a story about brothers and sisters being kings and queens together without any trouble.

Oh, well nevermind then.

My support pairings.

EphraimxL'archel/Tana
LutexArthur
KnollxNatasha
NeimixColm


I was just kinda going as it went, but they do go down as my most and least favorite characters in this game.

I like L'archel.... She's funny.

[RagingKrikkit]

Did you give her a French accent in your head? I did, and I have regretted it since.

[Illven]

Did you give her a French accent in your head? I did, and I have regretted it since.

No, I'm not good with giving people accents.

[Deme]

I support Eirika x Seth. Forever.
Also, Franz x Amelia.

[RagingKrikkit]

Good to see another Eirika/Seth fan.

[Farix]

but they do go down as my most and least favorite characters in this game.

Joshua is definitely my favorite and while I did despise L'Arachel at first she kinda grows on you.

Pairing votes for:
Joshua x Natasha
Gerik x Tethys
L'Arachel x Rennac

[RagingKrikkit]

Votes counted, and here we go! Please note that I am again asking for a certain extent of at least mental maturity from readers of this. There are no "Sweet Emiline, my organs!" jokes in this writing. This is a story of war, and I will not sugar-coat it.

Note: The villian revealed in this chapter is to be read in a German accent.

The apprentice rider set off to the west, vowing to succeed on his first solo mission, and vowing to return to his homeland to take it back from these invaders.

Riding in from the east came three terrible forms. The wyverns were not unknown to the soldiers of Renaris, but nonetheless they were an imposing sight.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/P-2/P-2-10.png

Stepping in front of the princess, Seth faced the commander of the wyverns.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/P-2/P-2-11.png

Seth did not respond, staring down the invader with steely determination.

Seth swayed on his horse, almost loosing his balance as he held his hand over the massive wound to the gut he had been dealt. “Seth!” The princess cried, seeing the blood flowing down his armor.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/P-2/P-2-20.png

I will not die here! Not today! Not while the princess needs me!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/P-2/P-2-21.png

He lifted Eirika onto his horse and they sped off towards the border.

He slumped down against a rock and began bandaging his wound.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/P-2/P-2-29.png

She began helping him with the cloth, applying pressure to stop the bleeding.

“I can handle it.” Seth protested.

However, they had tarried too long, for the men of Grado found them.

I can handle this.

Princess, I must insist—

Seth, you’re wounded. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine.

Princess—

Seth, stand down!

The redheaded warrior sighed, “As you wish, your highness.”

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/P-2/P-2-61.png

The princess struck, sinking her blade into the soldier’s flesh. She heard him cry in pain, and saw him prepare his axe to counter.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/P-2/P-2-62.png

She ducked aside, and the axe flew past her, leaving the soldier exposed to her own counter.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/P-2/P-2-63.png

She struck again, puncturing another bleeding hole in the man’s abdomen.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/P-2/P-2-64.png

Once again, the warrior struck, but his wounds caught up with him, and he stumbled, opening himself up to another blow.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/P-2/P-2-66.png

Taking advantage of the opening, Eirika stabbed her foe twice through the chest, and the man fell to the ground, gasping for breath through punctured lungs.

Eirika stared at him in shock. She had killed. There was blood on the end of her sword. She was a killer. A crushing feeling of what have I done? washed over her, but she had no time to dwell on it, for the next man attacked her.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/P-2/P-2-67.png

Once again evading a poorly-aimed blow, she repeated her pattern, catching this man off guard, and sending him to the grass, where he lay in a slowly growing pool of his own blood.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/P-2/P-2-70.png

His blow was faster than that of the other two, catching her off guard. She tried to duck out of the way, taking the blow to her shoulder instead of her head. She cried out, nearly falling to her knees beneath the power of the blow. She struck back, but the Grado soldier hardly even seemed to notice the blade enter him. Desperately, she fell back, ducking into a grove of trees. The soldier followed, but she ducked behind a tree, and the axe slammed into the trunk, becoming stuck.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/P-2/P-2-71.png

And then she attacked, striking a vicious blow straight through her opponent’s heart, the tip of her sword lancing all the way through the man and extending out his back.

She clutched her shoulder as she saw the blood flowing from it down her arm. Seth drew another length of cloth from his saddlebags and began bandaging Eirika’s wound.

Your highness, you should have let me deal with them.

Seth, you would have only gotten yourself killed.

Which you nearly did, your highness.

She glanced back at the field where the three men lay in circles of crimson. Three lives she had taken. Did they have wives? Children? How many lives had she crushed with a few strokes of her sword?

And thus the two of them set out for Frelia, leaving behind everything they had known—their families and their friends—and traveled on in silence, their hearts heavy but determined.

Characters that speak in this chapter:

Thoughts on this chapter:
Well, that wasn't too bad. If you ask me, one of the best parts of normal mode on this game is that it doesn't force you to handle this level any particular way, which while not being particularly big, is a step up from the prolouge in FE7. I was a little disappointed in Eirika's level, but at least she got defense, something she can lack in.

New Characters:
Eirika
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/Chrs/Eirika-P.png

HP: 70%
Str: 40%
Skl: 60%
Spd: 60%
Luck: 60%
Def: 30%
Res: 30%

Eirika is our first lord, and like Lyn before her, largely based off of the myrmidon class. She has the classic "glass cannon" build, although this is tempered by her high HP and speed growths, and higher luck and defense than Lyn. All in all, Eirika is a worthwhile unit, and unlikely to be one that you grumble at the beginning of each chapter because you must bring her along.

Seth
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/Chrs/Seth-P.png

HP: 90%
Str: 50%
Skl: 45%
Spd: 45%
Luck: 25%
Def: 40%
Res: 30%

As soon as Sacred Stones came out, anyone who knew anything about how Fire Emblem worked benched Seth as soon as they got acess to the preperations screen. Then somebody got into the game files, and learned the truth. Seth is not a Jegian. Seth is not an Oifey. Seth is his own archetype, that which carries growths that, while perhaps not on par with others, are still very useful, and Seth is a unit that can be brought to the final chapter with no worries. His speed is slow for a mounted warrior, but that is probably the largest of his worries, offset by his astounding HP growth that leaves him easily able to tank being doubled, in the unlikely event that he is.

Further note: While looking around for some info to wrap this up, I found that several characters we know and love are returning as DLC in FE13. And as for their artwork, well...

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120531072903/fireemblem/images/0/0b/Eirika_DLC.png
There's Eirika...

And that's Lyn.

Weapons Appendix: the Rapier
http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100919034927/fireemblem/images/8/8b/Rapier_%28TCG%29.jpg

Uses: 40
Weight: 5
Might: 7
Hit: 95
Crit: 10
Rank: Prf
Worth: N/A
Range: 1
WEP XP: 2
Effect: Bonus damage to horseback and armored units.


The rapier is our first special weapon, and Eirika's personal blade. It is unchanged from its stats in FE7, where it was wielded by Eliwood. In Eirika's hands, it solidifies her role as a sturdier-than-Lyn unit, and also arguably serves as the balancing force between the two. The rapier is heavier than the Manni Katti, does less damage, and has less critical range, but is offset by a 15% higher hit chance than the Manni Katti. This turns Eirika into less of a critmaster, and instead more of a dodge tank.

[Illven]

Good. You couldn't compete with my comedy anyway :smalltongue:

Also is it strange I'm more excited for Lyn then Eirika's return? And I think it's FE 13

[RagingKrikkit]

You're right, it's 13. I'm just a little iffy on the artwork...

What do you mean I can't match your comedy?

[RagingKrikkit]

Okay, moving along! Now we get into the story proper, as Eirika and Seth flee their fallen country.

Chapter 1: Escape! Part 1
Having defeated a patrol of Grado forces, Eirika and Seth fled northwest to the country of Frelia, hoping to find sanctuary from the war within the borders of their ally nation.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/1-1/1-1-1.png

But the war had beaten them to Frelia.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/1-1/1-1-20.png

The Grado commander’s lance tore through the soldier, who stared wide-eyed at his killer as the lance held him upright, his knees having given way. Then his head slumped forward, and the commander roughly pushed the body off his weapon.

Seth, get to that far house and make sure everyone’s alright. I’ve got the close one.

Eirika was blindsided by the first soldier, who laid into her with his axe, cutting a bloody path through her abdomen. She riposted, landing two hits on her foe, and leaving him only barely standing.

Princess Eirika!

Don’t worry about me, Seth! Watch those others closing in!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/1-2/1-2-26.png

Eirika’s third blow finally stopped the warrior. He fell to his knees, coughed a small cloud of blood, and fell to his side without a word.

Gilliam and Franz teamed up on another soldier. Gilliam struck first, his lance tearing through his victim, who made a feeble counter before Franz’s sword caught him in the back of the head, throwing him facedown into the grass.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/1-2/1-2-31.png

Seth charged another axe-wielding soldier of Grado, slamming his sword down through the man’s skull and almost to his mouth, resulting in a wet sucking sound as the soldier slid off his sword and collapsed in a heap.

Another soldier charged, taking aim at Gilliam, and managed to pierce his armor before Gilliam punched a hole through each of his lungs, causing him to gasp out his last moments on the field, clutching at his chest in a vain attempt to stop the bleeding.

And yet we were still defeated.

General?

Our home is conquered, our riders are dead or captured… The Knights of Renaris have lost. Only one goal remains.

Franz attacked a soldier, wounding him in the arm, and easily avoiding the counter.

A soldier ran to the aid of his ally, wounding Franz in the leg, and barely blocking Franz’s first return stroke, throwing him off balance and opening him for a second attack, which connected.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/1-2/1-2-46.png

The axeman disengaged and instead went after Gilliam, managing to deal him a notable wound to the shoulder, but paid for his attack with a lance through the gut, which put him on his knees, vomiting blood.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/1-2/1-2-47.png

Finally, Franz struck with the fury of Renais, driving his lance through the eye of his enemy, who fell flat on his back as red leaked out the back of his helmet.

Franz! Seth! Hold the rear! I’ll handle the Grado officer!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/1-2/1-2-58.png

Removing a Vulnerary from her bag, Eirika pried the cork out with her teeth and splashed it on her wound. The Vulnerary was a miraculous item, an essential for first aid. Using a combination of herbs used as painkillers and to promote healing ground into a paste, mixed with water and infused with the power of a healing staff, it could provide near instantaneous—if not total—healing to almost any wound. She then stepped forward to confront the enemy commander.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/1-2/1-2-59.png

Eirika struck, finding a chink in the armor of her foe. He cried out, but his aim did not falter as he countered, tearing into Eirika’s flank, bringing out a scream of her own, and driving her to her knees. The Grado commander stood over her and grinned savagely as he prepared to deal the final blow, and in desperation, Eirika launched herself to her feet, blade extending towards her foe.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/1-2/1-2-60.png

She caught him on the side of the throat, her blade tearing out his artery. As the soldier began to turn pale, he gasped

Franz and Gilliam finished off the reinforcements, and the four of them moved into the castle.

Characters that speak in this chapter:
Eirika
Seth
Franz
Gilliam

[Illven]

Nice level ups all around! Your Eirika is turning out better then any of my lords.

[RagingKrikkit]

Just need her to pick up some Str now.

[Illven]

True, but the Rapier will help with that for a little while at least.

[RagingKrikkit]

I guess so, but I usually play very cautiously with my personal weapons, only using them when I absolutely need them. Oh well, I can buy her an iron sword next chapter.

[Illven]

Besides you have Gilliam to break heads.

[RagingKrikkit]

Dat is true.

[fizzmaister]

I'm very happy with the narration style. It should be a very interesting LP. I realize that this goes against the rules that you stated, but what's an LP without suggestions that go against what you want to do.

My suggestion is that you get all of the supports. I realize that this can't be done without creative abuse of save states. You can get all C and B supports, then rewind to right before them as soon as you get your screenshots. Close to the end, you can show the characters dreaming about their possible futures after the war and who they would spend them with. Then, during the final battle, all the appropriate people get their A rank support and the credits roll with the endings that result from the popular polls.

Just planting those seeds. Enjoy, because I know I will (regardless of whether you do the above or not).

[RagingKrikkit]

Or I can copy/paste the supports from Serenes Forest, but I see what you mean.

[Illven]

Not like I haven't expanded the supports if necessary.

[RagingKrikkit]

And that's why youtube-based LPs are never as good as the screenshot variety.

[Illven]

And that's why youtube-based LPs are never as good as the screenshot variety.

Yeah. So limited based on what happened.

[fizzmaister]

And that's why youtube-based LPs are never as good as the screenshot variety.

The thing is, screenshot and video LPs despite sharing the "LP" name are in two completely different mediums and need to be treated as such. Screenshot LPs allow for much more characterization and additional stuff that may or may not be in the game. Ideally they should read like a picture book or a comic book.

Video LPs work much better for commentary and walkthrough (plus lots of failures) over gameplay footage. Think ChuggaAConroy, his video LPs are to a certain extent walkthroughs complete with stats and all that good stuff.

SRPGs fit much better to a screenshot style LP, and take much more work for a video LP (perhaps a cast of LPers voicing the characters and improving a story). Action/adventure games, on the other hand, work much better with the video format.


Or I can copy/paste the supports from Serenes Forest, but I see what you mean.

Ha ha! The seed has been planted.

[Deme]

I do very much support the idea of supporting L'Archael with everybody... Because hers are just pretty much the best...

As an aside, which I like that Seth got to point out that the whole "The Knights of Renais will never lose!" bit being kind of dumb, since they lost and all, "How come we lost" just feels slightly off from him. A little too informal or young-sounding, I think.


Also, man, do I love Gilliam's eyebrows. Some of the eyebrows in this game are just the best.

[RagingKrikkit]

Well, If you're bleeding out through a hole in your intestines, you don't really have time for formality:smalltongue:

EDIT: Line tweaked, hopefully better fitting now.

So, what do you all think about Eirika stepping into the tacticain's shoes?

[RagingKrikkit]

Time to wrap up Chapter 1!

Eirika’s first instinct was to start yelling, to tell him to look at her wounds, the bloodstains on her clothes, and to tell her that she was not now a warrior. Then her education in diplomacy asserted itself, and she took a deep breath before responding.

Characters that speak in this chapter:
Eirika
Seth
Franz
Gilliam
Vanessa
Moulder

Throughts on this chapter:
Okay, the RNG was offically toying with me this chapter. Let's see: Eirika gets hit on 29, Franz misses on 86, then crits on 2, then Gilliam and a fighter miss on 70 and 75, the latter saving Gilliam's life. Heart attacks aside, I did get some good levelups out of it, and no, I did nothing involving savestates around the boss.

New Characters:
Franz
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/Chrs/Franz-1.png

HP: 80%
Str: 40%
Skl: 40%
Spd: 50%
Luck: 40%
Def: 25%
Res: 20%

Remember what I said about how good Seth actually is? Well, it turns out that exept for Luck and Speed, Seth has generally better growths than Franz, although he will have fewer levels to take advantage of them. Franz is our first cavalier, and upon promotion, we may promote him into either a Paladin or a Great Knight. The Paladin is essentially the same as in FE7, but with the slight nerf of being unable to use axes. The Great Knight earns this ability instead, and between promotion gains and stat caps, is built more for Strength and Defense than Speed and Skill.

Gilliam
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/Chrs/Gilliam-1.png

HP: 90%
Str: 45%
Skl: 35%
Spd: 30%
Luck: 30%
Def: 55%
Res: 20%

Gilliam is our first Knight, and he carries predictable growths for his class, high HP and Def, fairly average Str, acceptable Skl, and low Spd and Res. Upon promotion, he can either becom a Great Knight like Franz, or a General. General's have been buffed from FE7, recieving swords as well as axes, so either way, he will get swords upon promotion. As for what we promote him to, the General has higher stats, which trade off against the greater manuverability of the Great Knight.

Vanessa
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/Chrs/Vanessa-1.png

HP: 50%
Str: 35%
Skl: 55%
Spd: 60%
Luck: 50%
Def: 20%
Res: 30%

Vanessa is our girst Pegasus knight, and carries the traditional growths of one, high Spd, Skl and Luck with mediocre to low scores in everything else. I'm not personally a huge fan on Pegasus Knights, but if we can get her promoted, then we might have something going. Upon promotion, we can make her into a Falcon knight, with all the expected perks from FE7, or we can promote her into a Wyvern Knight, a lances-only unit with the unique "Pierce" skill, that cancles out enemy defense.

Moulder
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/Chrs/Moulder-1.png

HP: 70%
Mag: 40%
Skl: 50%
Spd: 40%
Luck: 20%
Def: 25%
Res: 25%

Moulder, or as some call him, Moulder the Boulder, is our first healer, and behaves nothing like one at all. Between high HP, decent skill and low luck, Moulder's stats more resemble a Myrmidon trying to be a Mercenary than a Priest. When we promote him, we have an option between a Bishop, which is largely the same, except for gaining a skill that makes light magic critically effective against certain enemies, or a Sage, which will earn him the ability to use both light and anima magic.

[Illven]

Do you prefer Wyverns for your fliers?

[RagingKrikkit]

Yes, generally.

Alright, we are into chapter 2, and offically farther than my last try at a Fire Emblem LP got.

While not nearly the force she had hoped for, Eirika thanks the king for his aid.

This woman was not at all like Valter, the last Grado general she had met. This Selena was her enemy, but Eirika felt a sort of kindred spirit to her. It was… unsettling, her mind telling her to kill this woman where she stood, but her heart telling her to stay her hand.

Plus Eirika would totally get curb-stomped right now.

[RagingKrikkit]

What are you talking about? A fataly wounded Elbert put Nergal out of action for 6 or 7 chapters. It's called cutscene competence.

[Illven]

What are you talking about? A fataly wounded Elbert put Nergal out of action for 6 or 7 chapters. It's called cutscene competence.

Or Elbert is just that awesome. Also Elbert's wife cheated on him, so Elbert cheated on her, and Hector is really his son :smalltongue:

[RagingKrikkit]

...

I missed that part...

[Illven]

...

I missed that part...

I like it more then the probable canon. It would explain why Elbert is so awesome, and Eliwood and Roy are..... so.... nice..... :smalltongue:

[Deme]

It's possible Awesome is a recessive gene. Eliwood's mom is Negative for the Awesome gene, so Elbert's gene does not display. Now, this is slightly confusing with Roy, since his mother is variable...But if we assume Eliwood passed down his non-awesome gene, it doesn't matter the awesomeness of his mother.

Is it bad that when I read your post at first, I instantly thought of your edit?

But I like my idea more.

[Selpharia]

To be fair to Eliwood and Roy, from Ninian and Nils's description, Elbert was also a pretty nice guy most of the time. Perhaps he was just RNG blessed during his adventuring days, and had the good fortune to be able to make a mustache look cool, unlike his son. Oh and he probably landed a crit or something.

OTOH, Deme's explanation works too.

A bandit launched himself at Franz, but failed to connect, and was swiftly dealt with by blows to the chest.

The villager had been dealing with the bandits on his end, and Vanessa swooped from the skies to clear his way, catching the archer off-guard and slaying him quickly.

Eirika slew her first bandit, wondering how this was any better than the slaughter inflicted upon the villages. Yes, they were protecting the innocent, the helpless, but they were doing it by killing. What was this madness?!

Franz and Seth found themselves fending off a flanking maneuver, but even with their tactics, the bandits fell before the blades of their opponents.

And introducing:

Garcia

[Illven]

Eirika, there's a strength stat. Start increasing it.

[RagingKrikkit]

My thoughts exactly. As it stands, she gets the first power ring.

[Shishnarfne]

Eirika, there's a strength stat. Start increasing it.

This is starting to look all to familiar to me from my experience with Sacred Stones.

It's made worse by how well she tends to do everywhere else.

[Illven]

Ross is angry. Ross smash.

[fizzmaister]

Hurray for peasants that can't identify their princess!

[RagingKrikkit]

I dunno, it always struck me as he did recognise her. On the other hand, they didn't have CNN back then.

[Illven]

I dunno, it always struck me as he did recognise her. On the other hand, they didn't have CNN back then.

I always thought it stranger that Selena couldn't recognize her.

[Shishnarfne]

I always thought it stranger that Selena couldn't recognize her.

Well, especially given that Valter does appear to recognize her (admittantly, in a place where he'd be more likely to see the princess), it does seem odd.

Of course, given Selena's characterization, it's possible that she does recognize her, and not having been given a strong reason why Eirika should be captured, chooses to allow her to defend the townsfolk intentionally. At least, that's what I'd like to think happens.

Also, being lazy at the moment, will we be seeing Eirika's or Ephraim's route? There's a lot of story exclusive to one route or the other.

[RagingKrikkit]

I'm intending to do Eirika's and come back for the other if I'm feeling really nice, but if you guys want me to, I can use half the party on one route and use half the party on the other, juggling between two save files. This could be fairly complicated and would also result in half the team ending up untrained by the time the routes converge again, once again because of save file issues.

[Illven]

This could be fairly complicated and would also result in half the team ending up untrained by the time the routes converge again, once again because of save file issues.

At that point I'd just use monster grinding to let the un-trained team up to what they should be.

[RagingKrikkit]

Good point.

Show of hands: who wishes to suspend the no-tower rule for the purposes of doing what Illven said?

Also, if that happens, I'll need you guys to vote who goes with whom.

[fizzmaister]

Good point.

Show of hands: who wishes to suspend the no-tower rule for the purposes of doing what Illven said?

Also, if that happens, I'll need you guys to vote who goes with whom.

All in favor say Yea, all opposed say Nay.

Yea! Completionism ftw.

[Deme]

Yea! Also, it'll let us get supports for Everyone!

[Illven]

I approve of this. Although it'll give you a headache probably.

[Selpharia]

I would kind of like to see both routes, but failing that, Ilven's suggestion works

[RagingKrikkit]

Chapter 2: The Protected, Part 4
They traveled on late into the night, finally setting up camp in the early hours of the morning. Despite Seth’s protests, Eirika insisted upon taking first watch, and as the others lay in their tents and the campfire burned at her back, she started up at the night sky, and the starry host arrayed before her. She picked out the summer constellations, learned long ago from the terraces of Renais castle. She had spent many a night atop the castle towers with Ephraim, stargazing, sharing tales of the day, and enjoying the sparse moments that had been the only time they could be themselves, with the only people they could be themselves with, away from all the stifling tradition and protocol of the castle.

Gods, she missed her brother…

It had been harsh, learning to fight. When Ephraim had said that he would not hold back, he had also meant that he would not fight like a gentleman. When she crumpled to the ground from a kick in the shin, he told her that in a life-or-death fight, there were no rules. There was no code of honor. There was only the winner and the one who died. All you could do was do everything in your power to make sure you were the winner.

Eirika jumped. Lost in her memories, she had not noticed the one who had come up behind her. But then the instincts her brother had drilled into her rose up, and she spun to her feet as she drew her sword and called “Everybody up!” But by the time she was back on her feet, she saw only a figure in a cloak sprinting away from the camp. Seth was the first from his tent, and rushed to her.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/2-4/2-4-29.png

Seth didn’t buy the story for one minute. Any honest man would have hailed her or bypassed them. He would certainly not have walked right into their camp, bump into her, and then bolt away. Then he noticed her wrist.

Seth whistled to his horse, which whinnied before clomping to its feet and making its way toward him.

Seth? What’s going on?

Your highness, I cannot tell you now, but please trust me. It is imperative that we recover your bracelet.

*sigh* Then let us ride.

Same old for me here. I missed the bottom-left village, as always, because I never rush Vanessa or Seth down there. I did save it from destruction, though, for what it's worth. Eirika is starting to worry me with her Str, but really it's only with this level that she technically fell behind average in that. On the other hand, her Def is doing really well.

Characters that speak in this chapter:
Eirika
Seth
Vanessa
Moulder
Ross
Garcia

New characters:
Ross
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/Chrs/Ross-2.png

HP: 70%
Str: 50%
Skl: 35%
Spd: 30%
Luck: 40%
Def: 25%
Res: 20%

Ross is what is known as a trainee. Essentially, this means that Ross starts the game a level -10, meaning that he can potentially grow significantly more than other units by the end of the game. That is, if his starting stats didn't suck so badly. Ross will auto-promote at level 10, making him slightly less usless, and his pirate form (the other being fighter) comes with the valuable ability to swim. From fighter he can promote to warrior or hero, and from pirate to warrior or berzerker. Build-wise, Ross is not quite a glass cannon. He has good Str and decent Skl and Spd growths (for an axe-user), but he carries almost no Def, albeit he does have good Res for an axe unit. He will get hit a lot, so he's going to need that good Luck growth to keep from being critted.

Garcia
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/Chrs/Garcia-2.png

HP: 80%
Str: 65%
Skl: 40%
Spd: 20%
Luck: 40%
Def: 25%
Res: 15%

Garcia is the other axe-user we picked up this chapter, and is in some ways better than Ross, and worse in others. Garcia comes with better HP, Str and Skl than Ross, but has a terrible Spd growth and worse Res than Ross. If stuffed full of speedwings, he may be useful to the end, but otherwise, he will end up being doubled to no end by the late game.

Weapons Appendix: Hatchet
http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090406201925/fireemblem/images/5/5d/Hatchet.gif

Axe E
Uses: 50
Mt: 4
Hit: 85%
Crit: 0%
Rng: 1-2
Wt: 5
WepXp: 1

The hatchet is a unique weapon, the only one in the game starting in Ross' hands. The hatchet has a high number of uses, especally considering its ability to make ranged attacks, like the hand axe. The hatchet is the weakest of all axes, but also the most accurate and lightest. It will easily last Ross through his first promotion, but it can also be used by other units if they are too inaccurate to get use from a throwing axe.

Yay, only one more chapter until I get the preparations screen, and then we can really roll!

On with the show!

Eirika and Seth turned to see a pink-haired girl walk shyly up to them.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/3-1/3-1-21.png

The sudden outburst startled Eirika, who fell back a step.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/3-1/3-1-22.png

Regaining her composure, Eirika began to question the girl.

She began sobbing softly. Seth placed a hand on her shoulder.

And with Neimi in the lead, the troop set out to the bandit’s lair.

Seth was just a little skeptical that this girl could hold her own in battle, having seen her on the verge of tears this whole time.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/3-1/3-1-56.png

But now, there was something different about her. Her pose was subtly different, her eyes, while still wet, had a determination to them. She was not going to yield on this issue. She could help them, and by the gods she was going to.

Don’t get too close to the enemy, or they’ll tear you apart. Stay behind someone who can face the bandits toe-to-toe and provide support.

Y-yes.

And introducing:

Neimi (Otherwise known as "Proof that you don't need an A support".)

[Illven]

I thought the proof was Kent and Fiora's B support :smalltongue:

[RagingKrikkit]

The evidence pile increases. And frankly, that line in my mind is more direct than the B support.

[Illven]

The evidence pile increases. And frankly, that line in my mind is more direct than the B support.

I find it one sided. But says nothing about Colm necessarily.

[RagingKrikkit]

Colm uses her for her body. Or at least, that's what it seemed like to me the first time I went through the game.

[Illven]

Colm uses her for her body. Or at least, that's what it seemed like to me the first time I went through the game.

I guess Colm likes pink-haired girls.

[fizzmaister]

I guess Colm likes pink-haired girls.

I just glanced at the Colm's support table, the only girls that he supports with are Neimi and Marisa. They are the only pink haired girls in the game (I think), even if Marisa is more of a purplish-pink-head.

I guess what I'm saying is that this has to be a thing. There you go YakYak, now you have a love triangle, free drama for life.

Chapter 3: The Bandits of Borgo, Part 2
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/3-2/3-2-1.png

Garcia, Ross! Take out that north wall! Franz hit the bandit! Seth, Vanessa, get the other!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/3-2/3-2-2.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/3-2/3-2-3.png

With the wall down, Franz charged through, striking the bandit in the collarbone. But the brute would not go down easily, and struck back, hitting Franz’s leg.

The bandit cut into Franz again, but was laid low by a stoke to his unarmored head, cutting deep into his skull, and leaving him leaking brain matter on the floor.

They continued pushing, forcing their way deeper into the den of thieves.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/3-2/3-2-27.png

She struck back instinctually, cutting down the blond lad who had struck her in the collar with a knife.

Once again, a four-part chapter, with all the fighting done in one part. Oh, the text...

[Illven]

Well one of two levels isn't bad.

[RagingKrikkit]

Agreed. She's still technically a point behind, but it's something.

Franz, on the other hand...

[Illven]

Agreed. She's still technically a point behind, but it's something.

Franz, on the other hand...

Kyle and Forde.

[Maryring]

Looks like fun to follow. Good writing in addition to the gameplay. *sagenod*

And part of me want to right now suggest the use of Amelia, as I turned her into a powerhouse myself, and with no stat boosts she ended up with Max Str, Skill, Speed, Luck and almost max Def and Res... by the time she was a level 12 General.

[KillItWithFire]

You only listed Hero, Fighter, and 'Zerker for Ross' promotions... You sure you don't want to make him a... SUPER TRAINEE!!!!!!!!!! :smallcool:

[Deme]

Hey, so this LP inspired me to play this game for the first time since I originally bought the game and did my cycle-o-procrastination with it...What would you say is a good level to stop at when messing around with the arena in chapter 5? I don't want to break the game or end up not being able to babysit newer units, but I also worry about some people being behind in levels and junk, so I thought I'd just get everyone to a point and be done with the arena.

(Also, I totally am stunned at the Defense on your Eirika. She's a little bit strength-starved, but... She's, what, 3 above her average there? Wow. I was a bit worried about mine until I checked the averages, since I was looking at that defense score and going "What, is mine behind or something?" )

2: Ross' ST form is the Berzerker without the Con growth and ability to cross water/mountains.

Almost there!

Seth grabbed the young man by the collar.

Now.

Colm’s sentence went unfinished as he found himself staring at the point of a sword.

I am not playing games with you.

Seth examined the piece of metal. It was indeed the bracelet. He then turned to Colm again.

Characters that speak in this chapter:
Eirika
Seth
Neimi

And introducing:

Colm

Just two more cutscenes and we get the preparations screen!

[Illven]

Eirika's a lot more trusting then me. I would have ordered Seth to tell me.

[Deme]

Eirika being more trusting than someone reasonable seems to be a running theme -- I accept this, therefore, not as lazy writing, but a deliberate thing. I do this with a few other characters and games, and find that it usually improves them.

[RagingKrikkit]

Agreed with Deme, Eirika's trusting (dare I say nievette) is a central theme in the game.

[fizzmaister]

I vote that Colm and Neimi should get full supports (because they only get additional endings with each other and no one else [hooray for really easy choices]), but only after the Neimi, Colm, Marisa love triangle is resolved.

The above obviously assumes that you will be using Neimi enough to get an A support with Colm, and that you plan on having the drama from the love triangle.

I most likely will not vote on deployments because although I am playing along, I plan on arena and tower abuse to overlevel.

If you decide to show both routes and tower grind to simulate a meetup, what will you do with the recruitable characters? Obviously if you recruit them, it has to be on your keeper file, but how will you deal with their appearances?

[RagingKrikkit]

Before the split, I will state all characters available for recruitment (because they appear in both routes), and you all will vote on which group gets which. Regardless, I will recruit everyone in Eirika's route, but not mention those who are cannonically recruited in Ephriam's route.

[Deme]

I personally support leaving Colm to Neimi -- TethysxGerikxMarisa OT3! Though...I don't know which duo in that would get the A support. Hmmm....

[RagingKrikkit]

Or:

NeimixColmxMarissaxJoshuaxNatashaxSethxEirikaxInne sxL'ArchaelxEphriamxTanaxCormag

[Illven]

You'll get banned :smalltongue:

Eirikiaxnot importantxnot importantxEphraim?

[RagingKrikkit]

I wanted to retort, but anything I say won;t be as funny as I want it to be.

Also: The man in red armor is to be read in a Scottish accent.

Characters that speak in this chapter:
Eirika
Seth
Neimi
Colm

New Units:
Neimi
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/Chrs/CH3/Neimi-3_zps778e919a.png

HP: 55%
Str: 45%
Skl: 50%
Spd: 60%
Luck: 50%
Def: 15%
Res: 35%

Neimi is our first bow unit, and carries the standard Archer build. Decent HP and Str with good Skl and Spd, she also comes with the inherent crap Def of bow units, although her Res is not too shabby for a physical unit.

Colm
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/Chrs/CH3/Colm-3_zps367e2612.png

HP: 70%
Str: 40%
Skl: 40%
Spd: 65%
Luck: 45%
Def: 25%
Res: 20%

Colm is our thief, with an entirely predictable build thereto. Good HP and Spd make him fairly survivable, despite his low Def and Res. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of his Str and Skl. Although he can double most anything, he will be unable to do much damage. Once again, this is standard thief fare, being a unit built to not be hit while running around picking doors and chests.

Next Chapter:
Next chapter, I have a kill-em-all objective for which I may bring 7 units in addition to Eirika and the Monk we will meet in the opening cutscene. I am thinking of bringing Seth, Franz, Gilliam, Vanessa, Moulder and Ross.

If need be, I will deliberatly read supports to not sound like bannable conversations. Barring that, I will call you all sick-minded and deny everything.

Hope it works :smalltongue:

[RagingKrikkit]

Eh, what's life without a little risk? I mean, ask Hector.

[Deme]

You know, all told... I actually *don't* read their support that way. I think that's somewhat overhyped about this game, to be honest. Part of my reading is, I think, the contrast between their relationship as it is in the present of the game, and as it is in the flashbacks. In the flashbacks, it's basically a normal, if somewhat close, sibling relationship... It's a good bit more intense now, after the fall or Renais.
Which, to me, suggest that a lot of the heightened intimacy we see is primarily driven less by attraction, and more by grief and fear. They're all the family each-other has left, all the hope their country has left, and with the loss of their father, they're very aware that one of them could go, leaving the other all alone, at any given second. If you're not at your closest to your family members in a situation like that, I don't know when you would be.

...That doesn't cross any lines I shouldn't, right? I'm not exactly sure what qualifies as what.

That reminds me. Anyone remember that story by Ursula Le Guin about a society with strange marriage arrangements? Oh, wait. That's all of them. :smallbiggrin:

In "A Fisherman of the Inland Sea," she introduced the concept of a Sedoretu.

Quick jump to the rules to see how close I am to the line. Not close at all, but I'll stop here anyway.

[RagingKrikkit]

I'm going to call that intelectually curious and leave it at that.

And now I'm off to read the posting rules for the first time.

[RagingKrikkit]

Anyway, any suggestions, or should I roll with the team I suggested?

[Illven]

No, your team seems good.

[RagingKrikkit]

Level played, now to edit, upload, format, and post.

In other news: the RNG is already deciding who it does and does not like.

[Deme]

And who it does not like is you?

[RagingKrikkit]

It's more-or-less even, so I don't think the RNG has anything against me personally yet.

[mrcarter11]

Several things.

1. Can we still vote for supports?
2. I want to thank you, because I now find myself wanting to beat this game, as I never actually finished it. Stupid generals.....
3. Can we vote for a support that you don't have the units for yet?

[RagingKrikkit]

Support votes are always being taken, although I would prefer it if units I have not yet aquired be mentioned only in spoiler tags.

And good to hear I've made an impact on someone's life. Eh, who am I kidding, I'm just getting you to play a game, not like I'm talking you into getting married or anything. Anyway, good luck with your run, and hope your stick around here (and comment. That applies to any more of you lurkers out there.)

[mrcarter11]

I got stuck a long time ago, and something like 5 years later, I still haven't beat the damn level. But who knows. Lady luck sometimes smiles for no reason.

[Istari]

Keep an eye on Colm though, he's always turned out fairly decent for me, though certainly not as good as
Joshua who I've usually had max Spd/Skl prepromotion with several levels to spare.

Which level?

Joshua who I've usually had max Spd/Skl prepromotion with several levels to spare.

Yeah, he tends to turn out really well for me. Actually, my favorite support in the game is

JoshuaxMarissa, sometimes with Gerik tossing in a B support.

Suddenly, there were forms moving all about, rustling through the trees, scurrying through the underbrush. Then Eirika saw a figure in the open. It stood like a man, but shambled along as if with injured legs. Its skin was a hideous sight, unnaturally gray and pockmarked with sores. It was mostly naked; wearing the tattered remains of what must have been a set of clothes, now little more than hanging rags. But worst of all were its hands. The flesh had been stripped completely, leaving only bone at the end of its arms. Bone that appeared to have been sharpened to a gruesome edge.

Another monstrosity approached them, this one not even bothering to disguise itself in humanlike form. It could be best described as a giant eye. But that does not do the creature justice. Blood vessels pulsated on its sides while nerves and veins dangled behind it. But worst of all was its eye. It’s soul-piercing, heartless gaze that looked into your deepest thoughts, your hidden dreams and fears, and laughed.

With determination of steel, Artur gazed straight back into the creature’s eye, and unleashed a barrage of magic bolts that burrowed their way through the monstrosity, and it fell to the ground, fluid seeping out the many holes in its bulbous form.

Characters that speak in this chapter:
Eirika
Seth

And introducing:

Artur
Lute

[Illven]

And so it begins.

[fizzmaister]

I think a bunch of your pictures are in the wrong order. Also, I think a few badass monk jokes are in order.

"I was ordered to purge this forest of an endless army of the undead, by myself. No biggie."

"Travelers passing through? I'd better run through a field, dodging countless undead creatures, and warn them about the undead infestation."

"Are giant eyeballs terrorizing you? Just call Arthur. I'll zap them with lightning, Real Lightning!"

[RagingKrikkit]

*double-checks* Uh, nope, they're right.

[RagingKrikkit]

I'm seeing no copied image, the image you say is missing is in the original post, and he did leave the village, and met the group, which was not in the village.

[fizzmaister]

Nevermind. The pictures just cached strangely. A nice forced refresh fixed everything.

[Maryring]

Level played, now to edit, upload, format, and post.

In other news: the RNG is already deciding who it does and does not like.

I'm gonna be guessing that it is Neimi it doesn't like.

[RagingKrikkit]

And now to battle, with 100% more acess to the preparations screen!

Vanessa encountered one more form of horror. A human skeleton attacked her with a sword, but not hurting her seriously. But how could this form exist? No muscle or skin held it together, and yet here it was, trying to kill her.

One last monster stood in the valley. It lurched its way towards Seth, and laid into him with its horrible mutilated claws.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/4-2/4-2-80_zps012f28c2.png

But letting the wound slow him none, Seth returned with his blow, and struck the fiend through the skull, dropping it to the dirt, and ending the battle.

Characters that speak in this chapter:
Eirika
Seth
Gilliam
Neimi
Artur
Lute

[Deme]

Eirika. That defense. The heck, RNG?

Also. Man, am I glad to start seeing L'Archael. She is just the best. I would totally play an FE Romhack that's just L'Archael and Dolza going around being, in essence, superheroes.

[Selpharia]

Don't we already have that? I mean sure, the game spends a lot more time than necessary on side characters like Eirika and Ephraim, but we all know that it's the gallant and magnificent Lady L'Arachel and her faithful sidekick Dolza who save the day every time.

P.S.Myrrh/Dolza is pretty much the funniest support ever, with possible competition from Kent/Fiora in FE7.

[RagingKrikkit]

Eh, makes sense that L'Archael would have a bunch of fangirls.


Huh, you'd be cuter, if you weren't as insane as everyone else here.


but we all know that it's the gallant and magnificent Lady L'Arachel and her faithful sidekick Dolza who save the day every time.


I will admit that Dolza has his uses, but I've never gotten L'Archael to promotion.

[Selpharia]

I really recommend it. If I recall right, she was pretty monstrous once given attack magic, and pretty much dodged everything. Very much like Serra, now that I think about it, whom I also like using.

[RagingKrikkit]

Alright, when we pick her up, you can vote to bring her along.

[Illven]

Lute, why are you sucking. You shouldn't be doing that.

[RagingKrikkit]

And it's going to be how long 'till I get another mage?

[Xondoure]

Lute, why are you sucking. You shouldn't be doing that.

Magebane, curse of the let's plays.

[Illven]

And it's going to be how long 'till I get another mage?

Saleh/Ewan. Although you can promote Artur to Sage for Anima


Magebane, curse of the let's plays.

I know :smallfrown:

At least he doesn't have lord-bane.

[RagingKrikkit]

Saleh/Ewan. Although you can promote Artur to Sage for Anima

Why why WHY do they not have a backup mage?!


I know :smallfrown:

At least he doesn't have lord-bane.

Even her Str is turning around! And with Def like that...

[mrcarter11]

I had to get the game to find the chapter I was stuck on.

It was chapter 18.. I couldn't beat it with all my units still alive.. I always lost at least two..

[Illven]

Right that and phantom ship are damn difficult. It's like someone feel asleep at the difficulty curve.

[RagingKrikkit]

Right that and phantom ship are damn difficult. It's like someone feel asleep at the difficulty curve.

(Looks it up) Huh, the only trouble I have with 18 is when I get someone seperated from the group. I just time my movements and lure enemies into the traps and it works well enough.

Ghost ship, on the other hand... yeah, if you guys really want me to do both routes, be ready for deaths.

This is why the RNG goddess invented Monster grinding.

[fizzmaister]

Ghost ship, on the other hand... yeah, if you guys really want me to do both routes, be ready for deaths.

The annoying part is that it's just past the route split so you won't have all your best units, and you won't have the time to bring up your other units. Oh well. Give Ephraim a bigger share of good units and hope for the best.

[mrcarter11]

So I've been playing Chapter 18..

Finally beat it, with only one loss.. Forde..

Then discovered that I no longer remember the plot for the game at all, and should replay it all.

Also I don't remember what chapter it is, but the one in the sands is dam hard as well.

Eirika stared in silence as the three disappeared into the woods.

Seth…

Yes, your highness?

This feeling… I think… I think it’s called… “I need a drink.”

Yes, your highness.

Characters that speak in this chapter:
Eirika
Seth
Gilliam
Neimi
Artut
Lute

Thoughts on this chapter:
Well, a little more RNG screwiness here, with Franz missing an 80, and Neimi missing two consecutive 77s. Final boss was fed to Seth because it was technically a promoted unit (With 3 Str, 1 Skl, and 2 Def), meaning Seth could get a decent amount of experience out of it. Unfortunately his level could have been better. Speaking of levels, Eirika is doing very well, and Lute is… not.

New Characters:
Further talk about Neimi and Colm.

Seeing as I forgot to mention it last time, Neimi has the ability to promote into either a Sniper or a Ranger. The Sniper is as you would expect, but with the addition of the “Sure Strike” ability, which gives 100% accuracy upon activation. Unfortunately, most Snipers already have accuracy near 100%, and this skill has been largely written off as redundant by the fans. Her Ranger form is essentially a renaming of the Nomad Trooper, meaning that she gains a horse and the use of swords, but at the cost of her ability to use ballistas.

Colm, on the other hand, has the choice between the Rouge and Assassin classes. The Assassin class is a critmaster class, but with its increased focus on combat, looses some of its thief abilities. The Rouge, on the other hand, masters the thieving skills. Rouges gain the “Pick” ability, which allows them to open doors and chests without the use of lockpicks, removing the need to keep stealing lockpicks from other thieves forevermore.

Artur
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/Chrs/CH4/Artur-4_zpse2fef438.png

HP: 55%
Mag: 50%
Skl: 55%
Spd: 40%
Luk: 25%
Def: 15%
Res: 55%

Artur is a Monk, and our first offensive caster. Personality-wise, he is a Nice Guy ™, with all the rights and privileges thereto. “Rights and privileges” apparently includes the right to be a magic tank, judging by his high HP and Res, decent Spd, and then bolstering it with his solid Mag and Skl growths. Really, Artur’s only weakness is his Def, which means I will be keeping him out of arm’s reach.

When Artur promotes, he can become either a Bishop or a Sage. The Bishop gains staves and the “Slayer” skill, which will cause his magic to do triple damage to any monsters we encounter, while the Sage has been buffed to use both Anima and Light magic, plus staves.

Lute
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/Chrs/CH4/Lute-4_zps835a9459.png

HP: 45%
Mag: 65%
Skl: 30%
Spd: 45%
Luk: 45%
Def: 15%
Res: 40%

Lute is a Mage, our second offensive caster, and is our Kazooie to Artur’s Banjo. She believes herself to be the most powerful magician ever, and with that Mag growth of hers, one can see why. Alas, the RNG has seen fit to enforce the “I am superior” trope to its fullest, and cursed her level-ups to suck.

When If Lute promotes, she can either become a Sage (as discussed above) or a Mage Knight, which is essentially a Valkyrie of the previous game, with Anima and Staves on a horse. (The actual Valkyrie class has been changed to use Light magic.)

Performance Reviews:
I will try to do these at levels that are multiples of 5 from now on.

Eirika
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/Chrs/CH4/Eirika-4_zps58cebf29.png

Eirkia has above average HP, Spd, and Def, and is average in Str, Skl, Luck, and Res. I was worried about her Str for a while, but if she can keep her other abilities in line, I will forgive her if she falls a point or two behind there.

Franz
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/Chrs/CH4/Franz-4_zpscb0a4dd9.png

Franz has above average Skl, Def, and Res, average Spd and Luck, and below average HP and Str. His levels have been up and down, and after doing the math, he is not quite as bad as I had feared. I will keep using him for now, and see what becomes of him.

Gilliam
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/Chrs/CH4/Gilliam-4_zpsef64539e.png

Gilliam has above average Str, Skl, Luck, Def, and Res, with average HP and Spd. However, he has only leveled up twice, so unless he keeps improving Skl, Luck, and Res, he will fall back to average there quickly.

Planning for next chapter:
Next chapter I have a kill the boss objective for which I may bring seven units plus Eirika and the Cleric I will pick up at the start. I am thinking of bringing Seth, Franz, Gilliam, Vanessa, Ross, Neimi, and Artur. Also, there is an arena here. Due to my “no elongating the battle” rule, it is unlikely that I will get a lot of grinding in. I’m thinking about rushing Seth to the arena, so he can gain some experience without robbing it from the rest of the team.

[RagingKrikkit]

Did the post not update for you guys, or are you just mean?

[Illven]

You need to use Ross more to get him to succeed. Also I agree with your team.

Oh that is a cruel cliffhanger (even though we know exactly what's going to happen).

Actually, I would love that, in fact, let's do that for every recruitment. The shift in music would be really cool then.

You know...I never really believed Joshua's coinflip was a legit coinflip. Natasha doesn't see the coin land, and anyway, Joshua knows how to cheat, too. So I always got the vibe that the whole thing was a pretense on his part, ala Edgar and Sabin's coin toss from Final Fantasy VI.

He knows what he wants to do, the coin is just his way of making permission to do it without damaging his image or pride.

Well I suppose. That would get around presumed random chance, and I have heard that theory before.

[RagingKrikkit]

I don't have photos of this, so let me tell you a story while I prep the new update:

Due to previous damage, Seth enters the arena at 29 HP. His opponent, a Lv3 Hero with a silver sword.

Seth attacks and deals 9 damage.

Hero attacks at 66% hit and deals 15 damage. Seth has 14 HP left.

Player mashes B.

Hero doubles at 66%...

MISS! THANK [CENSORED]

[Illven]

Yeah, this is why I prefer to train swordmasters in the arena.

The coin landed in the palm of the mercenary, and he cupped his hand around it as he examined the circle of gold.

Joshua approached Captain Sarr, blade in hand.

The sellswrod, huh? Of course you would survive. Hold your position and strike down these Renais dogs!

No can do, sir.

What?!

I said I’m not taking orders from you anymore.

Characters that speak in this chapter:
Eirika
Seth
Natasha
Joshua


Thoughts on this chapter:
Not too bad, except for the part about nearly loosing Seth. I don’t have pics of it, but in the arena, Seth was saved from death by a miss on a 66. Also had a tight spot with Franz, when he ended up camping in the front door of a house to keep bandits from getting to it. In other news, Joshua will not attack Natasha if you move her close to him. If you didn’t know that, it’s very useful.

New Characters:
Natasha
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/Chrs/Natasha-5.png

HP: 45%
Mag: 60%
Skl: 25%
Spd: 55%
Luck: 60%
Def: 15%
Res: 55%

Natasha comes with the standard healer build, fast and good Res, but needing to dodge anything with a sword or risking massive damage. Her Skl is also low, something that comes standard fare for staff users, and that can hurt her when she promotes. Speaking of which, she has the choice between a Bishop and a Valkyrie. The first will get her Light magic and the Slayer skill, while the latter earns her Light and a horse.

Joshua
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/Chrs/Joshua-5.png

HP: 80%
Str: 35%
Skl: 55%
Spd: 55%
Luck: 30%
Def: 20%
Res: 20%

Well, what did you expect from a Myrmidon? Joshua is arguably a bit slow compared to some other Myrmidons, but he replaces this with a solid HP growth, which makes up for his low Def and Res. However, at his heart, he is still a dodge tank, and I will be using him accordingly. When he promotes, our choice is between a Swordmaster, giving him a +15% crit bonus, and an Assassin, which get him the Silencer, skill, which nets him the chance to make garunteed OHKOs.

Performance Reviews:
Ross
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/Chrs/Ross-5.png

Ross has above average HP, Strength, Skill, and Resistance, average Speed and Defense, and below average Luck. He is doing better than I was expecting, but we’ll see how he goes from here.

[Illven]

I either use Natasha or L'archel as my party healer.

Double numbers, so they send 8 guys at him? That's what they are doing wrong.

Oh Ephraim. I see that you're channeling a little of Ferdinand Foch there.

[Illven]

Huh. Your Ephraim is turning out much better then mine tend to.

[Shishnarfne]

I've been encouraged by the Fire Emblem LP's here to try my hand at hard modes... Eliwood hard mode was quite the learning experience. Made worse by the fact that Lyn had a higher strength than anyone else on the team. (Okay, so with Durandal's +5 Str, Eliwood edged her out, and Priscilla's magic was higher, but still...)

Trying HHM now. I feel lucky that I made it through Port of Badon and Pirate Ship without losing anyone or resetting (on Hard Mode, I reset). The real joy was snagging all the treasure in Whereabouts Unknown. Right now, in HHM, I'm having trouble finding good opportunities to get Lyn and Eliwood into the lineup, so they're underleveled. Still not sure how I'm going to fix this.

But again, I enjoy following this LP, and keep up the good work.

That's...... That's horrible. How is that a thing.

[Shishnarfne]

That's...... That's horrible. How is that a thing.

Well, Eliwood only made it to level 4 past promotion, and had 20 Strength.

Lyn reached level 10 and maxed her strength at 24. Seeing that she got 14 defense, I'd say she was my competent lord.

Hector: Level 7 Great Lord, 14 Strength, 16 skill, 15 speed, 21 defense.
Yeah, he got screwed.

Oswin had 24 Strength, so he tied Lyn.

Aside from Vaida and Harken, no one else even hit 20 Strength. Edit: and they both start with at least 20 Strength.

My strategy for the final boss: Athos with Luna. The one unit the RNG cannot ruin.

That makes my hector almost look decent.

I'm afraid to compare my numbers to the averages...

At least your Hector had Strength and Defense, so he could be a wall.

[RagingKrikkit]

I prefer Athos with Aeuola (or whatever). Eat orbital bombardment, sukah!

The soldiers of Renais fled the castle, ducking under a hail of ballista bolts and magical blasts.

But as they made their way across the bridge that connected the island-based castle to the mainland, the sky was darkened by a flight of wyverns from the west.

They circled overhead menacingly, until a single beast, larger than all the rest, descended towards them.

Thoughts:
Eh, that wasn't too bad. I cut it a little close with the healing items, as you can see from some of those pics, but we all made it out in one piece. I'm still working on my editing style, and I'm using a lot more dialouge now, as you saw, but I think I need to incorporate more map shots in as well.

Planning:
Next Chapter, I have a kill the boss objective in the fog of war with a keep neutrals alive secondary objective to which I may bring 10 of my 14 units. I am thinking of bringing Eirika, Seth, Natasha, Joshua, Colm, Artur, Franz, Vanessa, Ross, and Neimi.

No Lute.... :smallfrown:

After those level-ups? Well, if you really want me to, who should I box?

I like Lute..... Anyone but Seth, because you need him for this.

[Sairyu]

Bench Seth, you don't really need him to get through that level. He makes the early game too easy, so you should only use him, or not use him at all. :"p

I suppose bringing him along fits the narrative though, so really it's up to you.

Seth unlike other Jeigans, is actually a decent character the whole game through. It's insanity not to use him I say!

[RagingKrikkit]

Going to play Chapter 6 now. BTW I have a dragonshield and a secret book lying around. Any suggestions for who to use it on, or should I hold onto it?

[Illven]

Give Colm the dracoshield

[Dusk Eclipse]

I too suggest giving Colm the Dracoshield, I made him an assassin and he is one of my top units in my own playthrough (though maxing speed and skill pre-promotion did help), Incidentally... is he better as an assassin or as a rogue? I made him an assassin; but I forgot they couldn't steal anymore and I lost some good loot that way >_>

[RagingKrikkit]

Time to play a game! It's called: "Guess who died."

[Illven]

Time to play a game! It's called: "Guess who died."

Illven remembers suggesting that game in his thread.

Clearly Yakyak's class is Thief or Rogue :smalltongue:

[RagingKrikkit]

Thief. Very much so. Funny thing is, while I'm good at sneaking IRL, I suck at stealth games.

[RagingKrikkit]

In case nobody’s told you yet, welcome to the end of the world! To commemorate the imminent destruction of existence, I’m going to actually post an update to this. Better read it fast before the world explodes!

Beneath his robes, Novala clenched his fists. One day… he thought, taking some small comfort in the words that echoed through his head. Then his mind returned to the present, and he concluded his statement with Then… travel well.

The commander returned to the small force that had escorted him to the border and left, not hearing the final words spoken to his back.

Fog has long been counted among the warrior’s worst enemies. It limits vision, hiding one’s enemy away in its misty bowels. If a soldier wishes to stay alive on his trip through the fog, he must always assume that the enemy knows exactly where he is, and is on the move towards him. This leads to the most stressful moments as the soldier marches his way through the fog, weapon at the ready at all times.

Eirika drew her weapon, turning towards the source of the sound, a figure clothed in dark robes, barely visible in the fog even from a few yards away.

Eirika was slightly taken aback by Seth’s statement. Or rather, his command. He had never spoken to her like that before, and she wondered again what was so special about her bracelet.

There were no words to describe the terror that gripped her. The horror she felt at the very notion that captured, hurt, awaiting death. Fear leads to anger, and Eirika’s terror led to rage as her tongue lashed out at the figure before her.

No.

There was a flash, and standing beside the robed figure was a young girl, perhaps six. Her hair was split into pigtails, and she whimpered, obviously trying to run, but apparently held in place by methods unseen.

S eth opened his mouth to protest, then exhaled and lowered his head. Her decision was made, and nothing he said could change that. The princess of Renaris removed the silver and gold bracelet from her wrist, and slowly made her way towards the robed figure. He extended his hand, and she placed the piece of jewelry in his palm.

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's the Fire Emblem Christmas Special!

No, it's just a Christmas update.

Chapter 6: Victims of War, Part 2
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-1.png

Seth, help me come up with a plan.

Of course, princess.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-2.png

The child will probably be over in that valley. It will be difficult getting horses in there, so we’re better off moving there on foot, or flying Vanessa over there. However, if she gets out too far, there may be bowmen in this fog.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-3.png

Their main force will probably be over by that clearing to the northeast. That’s probably also where that shaman will be.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-4.png

Alright, then. Take Franz, Neimi, and Artur, and move in that direction. The rest of us will head east and try to save the girl. Colm.

Yeah?

Use this. You’ll benefit the most from it.

Well, gee, thanks, I guess.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-6.png

Vanessa, get moving towards that village first.

By your order, princess Eirika.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-7.png

Colm, Joshua, Lute, Natasha, with me! We’re moving east!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-8.png

Well, lookie here, we got more of them!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-9.png

Franz! With me! We screen the enemy’s advance to support the princess, then move north!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-10.png

I am with you, General Seth!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-11.png

Contact!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-12.png

Woah! Where’d he come from?!

Franz, watch yourself!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-13.png

Yes, sir!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-14.png

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-23.png

Dayhm, how many of them are there?

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-24.png

Not more than my flames can handle!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-25.png

Don’t get distracted!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-26.png

You shall not stop us!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-27.png

A little help here?!

Seth!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-30.png

I’ll be alright!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-31.png

Seth, fall back! Natasha, take care of him!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-32.png

*grunt* Thank you.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-33.png

My flames will consume you!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-34.png

Our cause is just. Our way is pure. You shall be swept aside from our righteous path.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-35.png

Vanessa, we’ll be fine! Just keep moving!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-36.png

It’s just a scratch. More than can be said for him.

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-37.png

They’re trying to cut me off!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-38.png

Reinforcements from the north! Take them out!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-39.png

I have this one!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-40.png

One more!

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-41.png

Oh, no…

http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/6-2/6-2-81.png

Eirika traded blows with the shrouded figure, ducking away from his dark blasts time and again, until an opening presented itself, and she lunged forward, stabbing her blade into his lung. He fell to his knees, croaking “You win… There’s no need… to kill… me…”

Anger leads to hate.

No need? You must have forgotten: this is war. There are no rules here. In war, you can do anything.

Her blade struck out one last time, spearing both his artery and his windpipe. He fell to the dirt, and drowned in his own blood.

Eirika glanced down to the shining metal on her wrist. A birthday present from her father, given to her all those years ago. And now Seth was telling her that it was the key to the greatest treasure of Renais.

We must hurry to Renvall!

A whoosh of wind blew into Eirika’s back, and she turned to find Vanessa and her mount behind her.

Vanessa, is the girl safe?

Vanessa hesitated, and Eirika began to feel that something was not right. Then she noticed how pale the sky-rider was, as she silently moved her lips before finally managing to choke out

Princess Eirika… The girl’s… parents are safe…

The words hit her like a dagger. Or rather, the words left unsaid.

You… you don’t mean…

There was… a soldier in the fog. I left her alone and went to get her parents… and he…

They stared into each other’s horror-struck eyes, crushed under the enormity of their failure, before Eirika felt a hand on her shoulder, and turned to see Seth.

Your highness, there is nothing more we can do here. We must move on.

Seth? How can you say that? The-

Princess, we cannot bring back the dead. Her parents do not desire and will not accept your condolences. We cannot bring them with us, nor can we spare anyone to escort them home. It is a terrible situation, but we must leave them to find their own way to safety. I am sorry, Princess Eirika, but there is no other solution.

The princess of Renais hung her head. I… I… Damn it! she chocked out. Why did this happen? What led Grado to begin this madness?

Princess Eirika, I do not have the answers you seek. But I do know that we will learn them, even if we must drag them out of Emperor Vigrade with a sword.

That… That sounds like a plan to me.

Characters that speak in this chapter:
Eirika
Seth
Franz
Vanessa
Colm
Neimi
Artur
Lute
Natasha
Joshua

Thoughts:
From an editorial standpoint, I think this is my best chapter: plenty of dialogue, variety in images, and character development instead of an endless montage of stuff dying.

However, from a gameplay perspective… Yeah… I don’t know how I pulled through that one without loosing anyone, not counting the little girl, for who’s death I blame a combination of personal forgetfulness and a stupidly bloodthirsty AI.

Next Chapter:
I have a seize objective to which I may bring 10 units. I am thinking of bringing Eirika, Seth, Franz, Vanessa, Ross, Neimi, Colm, Natasha, Joshua, and either Artur or Lute.

Performance Review:
Artur
http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p590/FireEmblemNuzloke/FE8%20LP/Chrs/CH6/Artur-6.png

Artur has average HP, below average Mag, average Skl, average Spd, Above average Luck, above average Def, and above average Res. I can live with someone who makes 2 15% rolls in 3 levels.

[Illven]

I agree with your votes, except Neimi. Bring both Artur and Lute.

[P equals NP]

I am intrigued. Please continue.

The Sacred Stones is the only Fire Emblem game I really tried to play seriously (even though I'm pretty familiar with the story of Sword of Seals, Blazing Sword and that of Sacred Stones as well). I'm so bad at these games that I couldn't even beat this one, which is commonly criticised for being too easy. =D

The one chapter that will be the death of me is the one where...
...you have to rescue Eirika from being curbstomped just outside Jehanna Palace (I was playing Ephraim's route) and have to fend off: Caellach, who is immune to crits; Valter, who does not receive amplified damage from arrows; and last but not least, a ****load of units. That sure was annoying...

If your thief is fast enough you can steal both Calleach's and Valter's special items. Then you can crit them or arrow them to death if you want.

Hm... not a bad idea, actually. Of course, I'd have to get over my fear of deploying vulnerable characters in combat first.

[LeoArchon]

I hate that the monster-catagory 'weapons' don't have any effect on the WT. Also, you got really unlucky with the girl. My apologies.

As a personal note, when it comes to this game, I like using the tower, and taking on everything on the first floor with one or two units at a time (one to fight, the other to heal/dance). Sure, it's time-consuming, but the levels...

I'm looking forward to an update of this. Maybe in the near future?

Also, to Illven: I read through your FE7 LP, and I have to ask (being new to the forums). What the flying flarks is a 'nuzlocke' LP?:smallconfused:

Ah, thanks! That clears that up.

Out of curiosity, who here has heard of the old SRPG Warsong?

[John Cribati]

I vote to split your units between Ephraim and Eirika.

I vote for Innes/L'Arachel A-Support. Do eet.
I also vote for Franz/Amelia, Colm/Neimi, and Artur/Lute A-Supports.

I second those. Joshua/Natasha as well, because the support conversations are so sweet.

[LeoArchon]

... Well, I play FE7 for the first time in a while, and Dorcas dies in Chapter 12. If only Rebecca hadn't missed the boss... Perhaps, in hindsight, I should have had Marcus nearby to bail Dorcas out, rather than out of the way so he wouldn't soak up EXP.

I'm playing FE8, too, and I'm a bit miffed by something. Namely, you can't access a town's arena from the world map. I mean, I know there's the tower and the ruins in this game, but still.

A question comes to mind, however: do the two trainees from Eirika's route appear in Ephraim's as well? Namely, Amelia and Ewan? I've never played through Ephraim's route, so I wouldn't know.

The only characters Eirika picks up that Ephraim doesn't have to chance to are Innes and Saleh, just like Ephraim picks up Deussel and Knoll.

Playing either Ephraim's route or Eirika's route should make no difference where characters are concerned.

[RagingKrikkit]

I really want to move this along. I really do. But Awakening is calling...

[P equals NP]

I guess you should just take your time, then. At least you're not dead. =D

[ZeltArruin]

It's Renais, not Renaris, btw.

[RagingKrikkit]

Got it, fixed.

[RagingKrikkit]

Three. Years. I've really left this lying around for three whole years. I'd blame the Army, but then again I let this die a full year before I joined. So to anyone who was here from the beginning, I'd like to thank Glyphstone for letting me dig this back out, apologize for leaving you hanging like that, and for the new guys, welcome to the party, even though I already said that seven pages ago.

Chapter 7: Waterside Renvall, Part 1
My apologies for that. Words of wisdom: never get old, your bladder just keeps shrinking and shrinking. Now, where was I?

http://i.imgur.com/V25iWkH.png

Ah, yes, Renvall. With her brother reported captured and awaiting execution, Princess Erika and her party rushed to the fortress of Renvall to save the missing prince of Renais.

Castle Renvall is a natural fortress, easy to defend and difficult to assault. We must plan our attack carefully.

I agree...

the group quickly became a hive of activity as weapons were checked and maintained, tactics and techniques discussed, prayers uttered, and Moulder weaved his way through the fighters, applying a spell learned from Lute to them that would allow for communication at distance. Upon receiving her incantation and instructions on how to use the spell, Princess Erika raised her left hand to her ear and called "Communications check?" and a moment later heard Seth's voice from his scouting position on a nearby hill, as clear as if he were standing next to her.

Check is good, your Highness, I have you loud and clear.

Any suggestions, Seth?

http://i.imgur.com/b1hNjBn.png

The bad news is that the enemy have an artillery position on the far ridgeline.

http://i.imgur.com/qRBC4BR.png

We'll be clear across the bridge, but once we start pushing North we'll start to come under ballista fire.

http://i.imgur.com/1tgBEqD.png

The good news is that they kindly left another ballista near us, with only light guard. If we can get someone to it, we can have support on our push to the gate.

Neimi, can you operate a ballista?

Um... I've never tried...

I can walk you through it, let us know when the ballista has been secured.

Okay...

Good. Franz, go with Nemi and then regroup with us once you've taken it. Everyone else, follow me!

[fizzmaister]

Now this is a very pleasant surprise. I assumed this wouldn't be revived. Now if only I had the time to play along.

[Dragonus45]

Happy to see you back, and right in time for everyone to be talking about Fire Emblem again too.

[RagingKrikkit]

Figures. The moment I tell the mods that my life has settled down enough to sustain a thread, life goes absolutely nuts for me. Also, for anyone here who also paid attention to my old Pokémon nuzlocke, it is currently undergoing a badly-needed rewrite and will eventually find a home on the Nuzlocke Forums (http://s7.zetaboards.com/Nuzlocke_Forum/index/) proper. Links will be provided when it goes up.

Chapter 7: Waterside Renvall, Part 2
http://i.imgur.com/V0iJHUs.png

Over the bridge, go!

http://i.imgur.com/TwoXmaa.png

With a flurry of war cries, Erika's warband broke from concealment and charged the bridge spanning the river that fed from Lake Renvall.

http://i.imgur.com/YKKB7G8.png

They fell upon the bridge guards, caught unprepared for the sudden assault, and within seconds the group had secured purchase on the far bank.

http://i.imgur.com/3p4mJJp.png

But the assault had not gone unobserved by the castle sentries, and within seconds a trumpet's call sounded from the parapets, raising the alarm to the rest of Grado's soldiers.

http://i.imgur.com/kT1QhFs.png

http://i.imgur.com/F0Dr2bH.png

http://i.imgur.com/9woChpi.png

No sooner had the alert been raised when Neimi and Franz sprung their trap, swiftly launching themselves against the ballista's garrison.

http://i.imgur.com/bZx0C7i.png

http://i.imgur.com/pl3XzEr.png

The soldiers of Grado rallied, charging to meet their foe.

http://i.imgur.com/eEUYxZx.png

It was a brave--but ultimately futile--notion.

http://i.imgur.com/NUVQTPC.png

http://i.imgur.com/UXiZ1vp.png

http://i.imgur.com/cffFTXB.png

One by one, they fell before Erika's band.

http://i.imgur.com/gysvXFH.png

Okay, I'm at the ballista!

Good. There should be a crankshaft on the right side of it.

I see it!

Grab it and turn it towards you.

http://i.imgur.com/bsMCnGt.png

Even as Seth instructed Neimi in the operation of the ballista, the assault continued.

http://i.imgur.com/8mr4wFN.png

Vanessa harassed the enemy's flank, swooping down from the hilltops with lightning speed.

http://i.imgur.com/Non3YVV.png

And the bulk of the army continued to grind away all that stood before them.

http://i.imgur.com/1m7RScG.png

http://i.imgur.com/PHKEEoK.png

http://i.imgur.com/n2sBaF0.png

Then, with an ominous whistle, the first ballista bolt arrived, crashing into the ground near Seth, inspiring him to append "And do it fast!" to his instructions.

http://i.imgur.com/3bzRk3Q.png

Seth, break through and take out that ballista, we're sitting ducks here!

http://i.imgur.com/qc7E96Z.png

Finally, with a screech of its own, Neimi's first bolt sailed downrange, finding purchase in one of the enemy.

[color="Red"]Good! Do it again!

The melee was brutal, but short-lived, Eirika's force maintaining an impressive fluidity as they danced from foe to foe, doubling up on anyone able to hold his ground against one of the group.

http://i.imgur.com/BkAV1nm.png

http://i.imgur.com/kx0ceB8.png

Spotting an opening in the crumbling line, Seth surged forward and struck down the ballista's operator before he could hone in his aim.

http://i.imgur.com/gF8BdoU.png

http://i.imgur.com/ElKd4qR.png

And with one final blow, the way was clear. All that remained was to take the castle gate itself.

[RagingKrikkit]

Ugh, sorry about that, I got caught up tormenting myself (http://s7.zetaboards.com/Nuzlocke_Forum/topic/9278432/1/), so it looks like I'm going to have to filler you all in for a moment. Consider this a flashback to between chapters 6 and 7.

Seth?

Yes, your highness?

About yesterday…

Your highness, that was… a terrible situation. We did all that we could-

But it wasn’t enough! Damn it, Seth, how am going I to save Renais if I couldn’t save one child?!

By learning from this failure, and by vowing that you will never allow the same fate to befall another innocent child.

What good are words in the face of steel? A pledge means nothing on the battlefield. To vow that I will never let this happen again would be a promise I cannot keep.

Then make no pledge, and push forward, whatever fortune comes our way. Yes, there will be losses. There will be defeats. There will be times when we wonder if we can truly achieve what we have set out to do. But whatever the cost, we will move forward. We will keep pushing onward. We will let the dead rest easy, knowing that their sacrifice was not in vain. That, your highness, is how Renais will be saved. But only if you do not despair, and lead us forward.

I… You’re right, Seth. I can’t give in to despair. But every time I close my eyes, I see her, standing there in the grip of that monster, terrified, begging me for help. And I failed her.

It is both the blessing and curse of a leader to bear the memories of those we have lost. We are haunted by them, forever to wonder how we could have kept them from dying. But at the same time, they can motivate us, remind us of what we are fighting for. What they died for. Learn from your mistakes, and fight to keep them from happening again.

Thank you, Seth. I… I will.
