Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 5: Island of Lanterns - Episode 1
As instructed by Sturm and Drang, (Captain) and company visit the Valtz Duchy, a Draph island famed for its steel. There trouble awaits.
A mysterious letter and simple curiosity have led the crew to the Valtz Duchy, where rows of smoke-belching chimneys rise out of the red earth.
Rackam: Hm... I see the factories here are as lively as ever. But I've never seen so many Draphs in one place.
Katalina: Draph steelwork is some of the best in the skies...
Katalina: But is it just me, or do things seem a little on edge here?
Lyria: Yeah. There's something scary in the air, (Captain).
Vyrn: Everyone's talkin' about the archduke going missing. Word has it the Erste Empire kidnapped him...
Katalina: The empire?
Sierokarte: Well, if it isn't (Captain) and friends! What are you all just standing around for?
Sierokarte: Did someone... stand you up?
Vyrn: It's the shopkeep from the Knickknack Shack! What are you doing here?
Sierokarte: I am both everywhere and nowhere!
Lyria: Wow, Siero! That's some real food for thought!
Sierokarte: Then I'll let you chew that over. Anyway, I have a job for you all!
Rackam: And just like that, we've got ourselves a personal task-manager!
Sierokarte: This mission is hush-hush, so follow these secret instructions to meet with a man named Christophe of the Valtz Duchy.
Sierokarte: The town's in an uproar, so be careful. Even I'm being watched...
Rackam: Our... manager seems to be trying to get us killed.
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 5: Island of Lanterns - Episode 1: Scene 2
After talking with Siero, (Captain) and company rush to the agreed-upon location but are followed by a suspicious figure.
Katalina: Rackam! (Captain)!
Rackam: Yeah, I noticed. Someone's following us.
Choose: Someone from the empire?
Rackam: This isn't like them though. The empire would normally just attack... no questions asked.
Vyrn: That's definitely been our experience with 'em so far.
Choose: Who could it be?
Rackam: Someone's watching us. Not feeling any hostility though.
Vyrn: You never know who you might be dealing with! Maybe they're keepin' their hostility under wraps!
Continue 1Katalina: They appear to be using magic to stay hidden from sight.
Monster: Groaaar!
Vyrn: This town's been nothin' but trouble so far. Let's just deal with the bad guys we can see for now.
Katalina: Agreed.
Katalina: Let's shake these guys off and push ahead!
???: ...
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 5: Island of Lanterns - Episode 2
Following Siero's instructions, (Captain) and company meet the so-called Christophe of the Valtz Duchy. He asks the crew to locate the missing archduke, Tzaka the Great.
Christophe: I presume you're the crew that Sierokarte sent.
Vyrn: Yup!
Vyrn: You sure chose a dangerous place to rendezvous!
Christophe: Our top priority is secrecy.
Vyrn: Guess that means you're not about to share your real name. Anyway. Let's hear what you have to say.
Christophe: I'm most grateful for your understanding.
Christophe: I would like your assistance in locating none other than Tzaka the Great, the Archduke of Valtz.
Katalina: We've heard rumors that he's been kidnapped by the Erste Empire.
Christophe: We don't have any specific proof. Whoever did it was smart enough not to leave behind any clues.
Christophe: And I'm not able to comment on our relationship with the empire. Please accept my apologies.
Christophe: If you accept my request, I have some... documents you may be interested in.
Rackam: A record of the archduke's steps just before he disappeared. Talk about detailed...
Vyrn: Hey, don't you realize what you just did? You agreed to help the minute you looked at those papers!
Rackam: Well...
Rackam: This sounds like nothing but a heap of trouble. But we'll do what we have to.
Katalina: I can't help but be concerned knowing that the empire may be involved.
Vyrn: All right, (Captain)! Let's check all the locations mentioned in these papers!
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 5: Island of Lanterns - Episode 2: Scene 2
As they search for the archduke, (Captain) and company realize that the shadow following them has disappeared. They then encounter a mysterious girl who is under attack by monsters.
Lyria: Searching for the archduke is like trying to find a needle in a haystack, (Captain)...
Vyrn: All we've heard is rumor after fishy rumor. Nothin' close to the kind of evidence we need...
Rackam: There's even talk about the archduke and empire teaming up to create a doomsday device. The rumor mill just never stops.
Katalina: Whatever was trailing us yesterday seems to have disappeared too.
Rackam: You're right. I haven't sensed it at all today.
Rackam: Hm?
???: Hey! What're you doing? Let me go!
Vyrn: That girl's in danger! You don't think she's the one who's been following us, do you?
Katalina: From how she's dressed, I'm guessing she's a mage. What could this all be about?
Rackam: The kid's being attacked! We have to do something, (Captain)! C'mon!
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 5: Island of Lanterns - Episode 3
(Captain) and company ask Siero to gather info on the mysterious girl who is following them. They then continue searching for the archduke.
Sierokarte: How's the job going, (Captain)?
Sierokarte: It looks like you're working hard... or should I say hardly working?
Sierokarte: Heh heh. I really have to write that one down...
Rackam: Lemme put it this way: we've got zero clues, some weird girl is trailing us, and I can't figure out how to walk on the sand...
Vyrn: Now that you mention it, where'd that mage girl from earlier go anyway?
Rackam: She must have run off. Can't imagine how she managed on this sand...
Katalina: She had beautiful hair. I wish we could have talked to her...
Lyria: Me too! She looks a little younger than me, but I wonder if we could be friends.
Katalina: Don't you worry. I'm sure you two would get along just fine.
Sierokarte: Hm... So she's a mage...
Rackam: We don't need her getting in the way of our job.
Rackam: Is there anything you can do, Siero?
Sierokarte: I'll do what I can.
Rackam: Thanks. We're counting on you, Siero.
Katalina: All right (Captain). Let's just keep tracing the archduke's footsteps!
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 5: Island of Lanterns - Episode 3: Scene 2
As they trek across the endless sea of sand, Katalina notices something missing and remembers the mysterious girl.
Katalina: That mage doesn't seem to be following us today.
Lyria: I wanna talk to her...
Katalina: Don't worry. I'm sure you'll get the opportunity before long.
Lyria: If I make friends with lots of other girls, will I be more normal?
Vyrn: What's wrong with Katalina?
You sayin' she's too old?
Katalina: Hey! I'm still in the prime of my youth!
Lyria: You're more important to me than a friend, Katalina. You're more like a big sister!
Katalina: Wh-where did this come from?
Monster: Groaar!
Katalina: Enough idle chatter! We have monsters to contend with!
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 5: Island of Lanterns - Episode 4
Siero informs (Captain) and company that the mysterious mage girl they saw earlier is being held ransom. The crew rushes to her rescue.
Sierokarte: I have some important news about that girl you mentioned this morning, (Captain).
Rackam: Oh? And what might that be?
Rackam: We have the mage. If you ever want to see her again, come to the specified location tomorrow at high noon.
Vyrn: That isn't news! That's a ransom letter!
Katalina: What's the meaning of this, Siero?
Vyrn: Who brought you that letter, shopkeep?
Sierokarte: To tell you the truth... it wasn't a letter so much as a note posted to my message board.
Katalina: Then tracing it back is probably out of the question...
Sierokarte: But why that girl of all people? Could they have mistaken her for a member of your crew, (Captain)?
Rackam: What do you want to do, (Captain)? Ignoring it isn't totally out of the question...
Vyrn: I can tell from the look on your face that you're not gonna let this one go, (Captain)!
Katalina: They're clearly trying to threaten us. But this may just be the clue we need to find the archduke.
Rackam: That's that then. We've got a mage to save. The rest will take care of itself!
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 5: Island of Lanterns - Episode 4: Scene 2
The kidnapper at the specified location turns out to be none other than Drang, who the crew previously encountered at Port Breeze. Before (Captain) and company can say anything to him, a monster attacks.
Rackam: We came just like you said, kidnappers! Now show yourselves!
Drang: Mmm... I just knew you would accept our invitation.
Vyrn: You're one of those goofballs we ran into back at Port Breeze! What're you doin' here?
Drang: Ah yes, you certainly saved our bacon back there! But that nice thank-you letter we sent you should put us on even footing, don't you agree?
Vyrn: Looks like he's back to working for the empire.
Vyrn: Let's get him, (Captain)!
Drang: Easy there! Have you forgotten that I'm the one with the hostage?
Drang: You haven't? Well then! Allow me to reassure you that she's safe and sound in Sturm's company!
Drang: Dreadfully sorry about all this. We're in something of a bind ourselves. You... wouldn't happen to know where the archduke is, would you?
Katalina: How dare you...
Rackam: Don't give me that! You're with the empire! You know more about what's going on than any of us!
Drang: Now, now. No need to play dumb! We know you met with one of the archduke's inner circle. Where's he hiding?
Katalina: What was that?
Katalina: This is getting us nowhere...
Drang: Hm?
Machina Soldier: ...!
Drang: What the!
Katalina: Some sort of ambush?
Drang: Save me, Sturm! Oh my goodness... What in the world is this strange machine?
Lyria: It's not alive, but I can faintly sense the power of primal crystals... Who could be controlling it?
Vyrn: Whatever it is, we'll give it the fight it's looking for! Let's kick some butt, (Captain)!
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 5: Island of Lanterns - Episode 4: Scene 3
After defeating the mechanical creature, (Captain) and company find their shadowy follower lying unconscious and decide to protect her.
Vyrn: I've never seen anything like that before. Was it a machine? Or a monster?
Lyria: It seemed so strange!
Lyria: But something about it was... well...
Katalina: Hey! That girl from earlier is over here!
Rackam: She's passed out... but seems to be okay otherwise.
Lyria: I don't think she's safe here, (Captain). We should take her back.
Katalina: Of course.
Lend me a hand, Rackam.
Rackam: Sure thing!
???: Urgh... Master... Master?
With the appearance of strange machines, the mystery behind the archduke's disappearance grows ever deeper.
Only the unconscious mage holds the key to finding the truth.
