20 years into the future of Elibe, after Eliwood, Hector, and Lyn defeated Nergal and the Dragon, Zephiel (who used to be such a nice boy...) prepares to lay waste to the rest of the continent with his enormous army.
This run is going to be written a bit differently than usual. Since I haven't played this game before, I'm not familiar with the characters, and thus there likely won't be much character related stuff, like the VS sections or anything. Instead, since this game is known to be fairly tricky and mean, I'll simply be narrating the gameplay and some story stuff as I go through the chapters.
Okay then, now Dawn of Destiny
◊ will begin!
Bandits have attacked Pherae! Are Roy and pals bad enough dudes to beat the bandits and save the Marquess?
Okay, seriously though, that is a lot of bandits. Let's take a look at who we have so far. Roy, who I've heard less than pleasant things about as a unit, but he doesn't look too bad right now. And there are our Christmas knights, Alan and Lance; the latter looks pretty good, although Alan seems a bit lacking. Bors is... ew. Those bases make me sad, outside of the expected high defense. Wolt is lacking but doesn't seem terrible, and the years do not seem like they've been too kind to Marcus, though he will likely save my tail if a really ugly situation rears its head, thanks to that silver lance of his
Now, onto the chapter! Gonna try to limit the early game units that I use, so that I don't have a huge group by the time some of the cool later characters show up, but Roy and Lance should be able to take these mooks by themselves. Had Alan give Lance his stuff, and Marcus gave Roy an iron sword so he doesn't waste his rapier, and then parked himself off to the side, in case anything went wrong. Roy waited on top of the bend and took out a mook while Lance drew most of the first wave to him, smashing them. Roy joined him next turn, and they pretty much mopped up the incoming people, while Marcus went to the village and got us 5000 gold! Roy and Lance went over to some trees and took out a pair of fighters, before going for Damas. They stuck to any nearby forest, and provoked Damas' lackeys, taking them all out with no hassle.
The two of them healed themselves since Damas actually looks pretty threatening with that steel axe, and then Lance waited in front of him. A couple of turns later, and Damas was down. Roy then conquered (odd choice by the translators) Castle Pherae, and saved the day!
A nice little reunion. Glad to see Eliwood not dead, but less glad to hear Lilina won't be able to join us, though at least we have Merlinus. Hopefully that means an early convoy, which is always nice. Next time, we meet some mercenaries!
