Alchemist Astray - Chapter 1: The Path to Truth - Episode 1
(Captain) and the crew have come to investigate rumors of a weapon made to bind Cagliostro. They are buffeted by imperial and alchemist forces the moment they arrive to investigate.
Imperial Soldier: We can't let them get close to the laboratory!
Alchemist: I know that already! We'll stop 'em here no matter what!
Alchemist: This is our chance! If we can bind the founder ourselves, we might even get a raise!
Cagliostro: Argh. Let's get this over with, (Captain).
Imperial Soldier: Gaaack!
Cagliostro's alchemy sends the soldier and alchemist flying.

Cagliostro: Pathetic. They couldn't even kill my boredom, much less me.
Cagliostro: From the number of goons crawling around here, I'd say the rumors are true.

Cagliostro: Oh, come on. It's like they're trying to bore me.
Cagliostro. Founder of the alchemical arts. Having transmuted her very own body numerous times, she has lived through millennia uncounted.
But after living wild and without restraint, she was caught in an incident that led to her imprisonment in the ruins of a remote land.
Only when (Captain) and company stumbled upon the ruins were her arcane binds broken and Cagliostro set free. Now she joins them on their journey.
Cagliostro: From the number of goons crawling around here, I'd say the rumors are true.

Vyrn: Yeah, not to mention the research facility they were talking about.
Alchemists have joined forces with the empire to create a weapon to once again seal away Cagliostro—or so the rumors say.
And now the crew has come to see just how true this is.
Vyrn: Gotta hand it to 'em though. They don't give up easy.
Cagliostro: That's just how badly the guild wants to put me away. Damnable Helmuth curs.
While being the founder of alchemy, Cagliostro is targeted by a group who call themselves the Alchemist Guild of Helmuth.
The guild had imprisoned Cagliostro once before and seeks to do so again.
Alchemist: I am but a humble member of the Alchemist Guild of Helmuth. Pleased to make your acquaintance.
Cagliostro: Humph... Just as I suspected.
Cagliostro: You'd think alchemists would show a bit more respect to the founder of the art, wouldn't you?
Lyria: Cagliostro... do you know this man?
Cagliostro: No, not this numbskull in particular. But it's fair to say that his guild and I share a... common bond.
Alchemist: Yes, bonds and all they entail... We alchemists seek to preserve the dignity of the art and will stop at nothing to do so.
Cagliostro: Hah! And you do that by binding people for hundreds of years? You and your disgusting group haven't changed at all!
Vyrn: Bind? Don't tell me...
Cagliostro: That's right. These arrogant maggots from the Alchemist Guild of Helmuth are the ones who bound me.
Alchemist: I'm truly sorry to do this so soon after you've been freed, but if you would only accept your fate...
Lyria: Wait! Are you planning on binding her again?
Alchemist: You've grown too wild, Cagliostro. We cannot allow your existence to sully our art.
Cagliostro: I'm almost insulted. Here I am, the creator of alchemy itself...
Cagliostro: And they think they can beat me by hurling handfuls of plebes my way. Hilarious.
Vyrn: But didn't they manage to bind you before?
Cagliostro: Hrm? Try and say that again, lizard. I dare you!
Vyrn: Eep!
Cagliostro: Teehee. It's okay, lil' guy! C'mere! Ouroboros just wants some nom-noms is all!
Lyria: Ha... haha...
