Chapter 15:
After the battle, we decided to spend a short amount of time in Laus so we could rest, resupply, and think about where to go next. We didn't have long however, before we discovered that we were under attack by mercenaries. This was going to be another tough fight.
Hector and Marcus both went south of the throne to take out some of the nearby soldiers, while Guy was sent to regroup by the throne, where Serra and Oswin were waiting. Matthew, who had tried to sulk off when the fight began, was quickly spotted trying to pilfer some treasures from a southern room by a couple foot soldiers. Fortunately, a combination of dodging skills, a vulnerary, Hector's axe, and just plain luck prevented the team from having another death on our hands.
Their leader, Sealen, was hanging around near the entrance to the castle. Marcus managed to locate him and the two began to fight. While he was a tough combatant, his heavy bows slowed him down and Marcus was able to dispatch him quickly, getting him one last Level Up
. Unfortunately, they weren't ready to give up even after having lost their leader.
A Fighter thought they could be clever and attack the western wall to get to the throne, but Hector was able to show him that his idea wasn't very smart. Serra's healing
and Hector's defending
earned both of them a level up.
Eventually, the last mercenary decided to play it safe and run instead of get killed by us. He was seen flying off on the back of a distant winged rider, possibly a Pegasus or a Wyvern Either way, Laus castle was safe. Hector decided that the time for action was at hand, and so we set off to pursue Marquess Laus.
Next time, a Jeigan quits while he's still ahead, and another takes up the sword and lance in his place.
