Dialogue[edit]

Party member: OK 1

Rhiannon

Help! Help! If we don't do something, Norman is going to die!

Party member: Help 2

Speak with Rhiannon[edit]

Party member: End 2

Rhiannon

Thank you so much! But... Norman is...

Norman

...Ugh. I'm fine, I'm fine... Let's just keep going...

Rhiannon

What're you saying?! With those wounds? We should go back to town and...

Norman

What are YOU saying? We can't go back...
B-but...

Party member: Interest

Norman

...I guess asking you guys is our best shot.
The thing is, we... Our marriage has met with some opposition.

Rhiannon

Our only option was to elope, so we headed out to Umon's Shipyard...
We thought if we could rent a boat, we could leave Gormott behind...

Party member: Understand

Norman

In the past, Mor Ardain very nearly eradicated Rhiannon's ancestral clan.

Rhiannon

That's why my da hates all Ardainians with a fiery passion.
Not that Norman, or most Ardainians for that matter, had anything to do with that atrocity...
And we love each other! Why would he deny our beautiful love?

Norman

I can see where Rhiannon's parents are coming from, but- Urk...

Rhiannon

Norman! Norman! Please, stay with us!
Please! You have to help him!

Party member: Help 2

Rhiannon

Oh, thank you!
First, could you gather some Shepherd's Purses and Dawn Hydrangeas?
You'll find an apothecary called Nils in Torigoth. He'll make us a medicine...
Nils, he's...my brother. He knows about our plan, so he should be happy to help...
I'll try to keep Norman stable, but please, hurry!

Norman

S-sorry to put you out like this...

Party member: Order 1

Visit the apothecary Nils[edit]

Party member: Info 1

Nils

Mh, yes, I am Rhiannon's brother. Has something happened?

Party member: Explanation

Nils

Oh... So she did try to run away in the end...
I can make the medicine, no problem. I just wonder if eloping is really the only way...
I just want my sister to be happy, of course. But I can't convince myself that running is her best option...
...
Hey, could I ask you a favor, too?

Party member: Interest

Nils

While I prep the medicine, how about you go to our parents' house and hear them out?
I'd go myself, but, well, I can't. I got disinherited.
If I showed up, the whole thing might get even more muddled...
Our da's a stubborn old goat. Thickheaded as anything.
Now Ma, on the other hand, less so. But she does generally side with him on everything...

Party member: Help 2

Nils

Thanks! They live in Grodd Residential Zone.
Right, I'll get to it then. I should have the medicine ready when you're back.

Party member: Order 1

Go to meet Rhiannon's parents[edit]

Party member: Greet

Carys

Ahh... So you're Rhiannon's friends!
Well, do you need something from us?

Party member: Explanation

Carys

Husband! Wyn! It's terrible! Rhiannon's eloped and-

Wyn

Eloped...?!
Hmph... Just leave it. A daughter who would associate with an Ardainian is no daughter of mine!

Carys

Do you realize you might never see Rhiannon again?

Wyn

...She's already gone, hasn't she? Leave it, I say.

Carys

Do you think she'll be happy like that, running away from everything she's ever known?
Do you not give a damn for your own child's happiness?

Wyn

Quiet! Of course I want her to be happy!
But approve of her running around with an Ardainian? Bah! Over my dead body!
You know what Ardainians did to this land, don't you?

Carys

It's all in the past! It has nothing to do with the children of today!

Wyn

Even so, I'm not having it...

Carys

Oh, you stubborn old fool...
When Nils went to Mor Ardain to study medicine, you went and disinherited him too.
But then you still sent Rhiannon to check on her brother, didn't you? Despite all you say, you do love them...

Wyn

Hmph...
I don't care how you dress it up, I'm not changing my mind!
Even if it means never seeing my daughter again, I'll have...

Wyn

no regrets!

Carys

Pigheaded fool...

Party member: Wary

Wyn

I've got nothing more to say. Go on, get out.

Collect the medicine from Nils[edit]

Party member: Back

Nils

Hey, welcome back. I just finished with the medicine.
So? What did they say?

Party member: Explanation

Nils

...I see. Yep, still stubborn...
It might just be because they worry about us, their kids...
I really don't know what the right answer is here...

Party member: Silence

Nils

Well ,the future is a distant and murky thing, and nobody knows what will be.
...Uh, no time for this, though, is there. Here, take this medicine to Rhiannon, and quickly.
She'll know what to do with it. Good luck.

Deliver the medicine to Rhiannon[edit]

Rhiannon

You brought the medicine! Hear that, Norman? You'll be OK!

Norman

...Thank you...
Right then, let's be off...

Rhiannon

Norman, are you sure you're ready?

Norman

Yeah. Your care and the medicine seem to have worked.

Rhiannon

Don't overdo it, please...

Norman

No, we will have to push ourselves...to get to Mor Ardain...

Party member: Silence

Rhiannon

What? Is something wrong?

Tell her about her parents?

Route B:Tell her

Rhiannon

You've met my mum and dad? Grr, my stupid brother...
So? What did they say, then?

Party member: Explanation

Rhiannon

Say, Norman-

Norman

We're going back to Torigoth.

Rhiannon

Huh?!

Norman

If there's a chance of convincing them, we owe it to ourselves to try.
I want all the best for you, and running away is not the best...

Rhiannon

But this might just be a ruse, designed to lure me back...
I really don't think my father will ever budge..
What if he tries to keep me from ever seeing you again...?

Norman

Even if you're right...
I don't think you could ever be truly happy knowing you're making your family worry about you.

Rhiannon

Norman...
OK. Let's head back into town.

Norman

Thank you, Rhiannon.

Rhiannon

No, I'm sorry.
Thank you for bringing the message, everyone.

Norman

We'll give it one last try, just to know that we did all we could!

Party member: End 1

Route A:Don't tell her

Party member: Silence

Rhiannon

Norman... We should get going soon...

Norman

Indeed... Thank you for your help, friends.
I cannot thank you properly, here, like this...
If you ever come to Mor Ardain, please come and see us.

Rhiannon

Yes! Then we'll be able to properly repay your kindness!
We'll never forget what you did for us, I promise!

Norman

Thanks again. We're in your debt.
