A Trial of Compassion
(Captain) and company hear of a magic stone said to work on Gawain's curse. They enter an ominous forest in search of it.
If you want to dispel the curse, help people and change your arrogant ways.
A knight with cursed armor, Gawain, accompanies (Captain) and company in their journey.
A merchant they come across speaks of a magic stone that works on curses. The crew heads into a dark forest in search of the stone.
Katalina: Ugh... The miasma here makes it difficult to breathe...
Lyria: That's not all. I feel a bizarre magical presence too...
Vyrn: Hey, (Captain). Do you think we can trust what that merchant said?
Vyrn: A magic stone that just so happens to work on the armored guy's cursed armor seems a bit... You know...
Rackam: It seems highly suspicious that some merchant passing by knows about the curse anyway.
Rackam: Maybe we should just go to town and help people to—
Gawain: You people need to know when to shut up.
Rackam: What!
Gawain: Are you afraid? Humph... Coward. If you're afraid, then go home. I'll do this alone if I have to.
Rackam: C'mon now, we're worried about the curse placed on you.
Monster: Grrr!
Katalina: There they are. Be careful. Those are no ordinary monsters.
Gawain: Humph... These monsters don't even make for a good warm-up. At least they'll take the dust off my axe!
A Trial of Compassion: Scene 2
The miasma-filled forest reeks of danger. Though Gawain's pride forces him forward, the magic of the forest resonates with his curse, inflicting pain on him.
Monster: Graaagh...
Katalina: Phew... The miasma seems to be making the monsters fiercer here.
Lyria: There's something weird about this forest. It feels like it's being distorted with magic power...
Gawain: Humph.
Vyrn: Hey, wait! Gawain!
Rackam: Gawain, don't go on your own. With all this miasma, who knows what lies ahead?
Gawain: If you don't want to come, then go home. I already told you that.
Rackam: Gah! Why are you like this? You should listen to others for once!
Rackam: I never said I didn't want to come along. I just said you should be careful because it's suspicious...
Gawain: Shut up! I'm strong! I don't need you to worry about me! Ugh...
Vyrn: H-hey! What's wrong?
Gawain: Nothing...
Monster: Grrrr...
Katalina: Gah! Again? Let's go! Don't let your guard down!
A Trial of Compassion: Scene 3
Feeling pain from his curse resonating with the forest's magic, Gawain still refuses help from the crew. (Captain) urges Gawain to trust in his friends.
Gawain: Huff... Huff...
Vyrn: Hey, Gawain. You look pale...
Gawain: Gah!
Katalina: Gawain? Hey! Snap out of it!
Gawain: Urg... The curse...
Lyria: Maybe the magic of the forest is affecting Gawain's curse...
Katalina: Oh no! It's a trap! But how did that merchant know?
Monster: Grrrr...
Rackam: Tch! What horrible timing!
Gawain: Hey! Forget... about me!
Gawain: This... has nothing to do with you! Go away!
Gawain: Huh?
Gawain: Why? You have nothing to gain from helping me!
Choose: Trust in your friends.
Gawain: Trust? You want to help me?
Gawain: Impossible. You don't stand to gain anything.

Katalina: I'm stunned beyond belief by how much of a fool you've been.
Gawain: Fool?
Rackam: We help people because we want to. That's all the reason we need.
Lyria: It's okay. We're strong. So you can believe in us.
Vyrn: Yeah! We'll be here to support you!
Vyrn: Let's go, (Captain)! We'll beat down the curse and the monsters!
A Trial of Compassion: Scene 4
The crew finds a magic stone deep in the forest, but it does nothing for Gawain's curse. Although still angry with the sorceress who placed the curse on him, Gawain is grateful for the crew's help.
Lyria: The miasma and magic filling the forest are dispersing!
Katalina: It seems the danger has passed.
Vyrn: Oh, look! Isn't this the magic stone the merchant talked about? Hey, try touching it.
Gawain: R-right...
Vyrn: Well? Did the curse disappear?
Gawain: It's no good. Nothing's changed.
Rackam: Cripes! I thought it sounded like nonsense!
Katalina: But why would that merchant try to throw us off?
Gawain: I felt a tinge of the same aura from that merchant as the sorceress who placed the curse on me. Maybe they're working together to test me...
Gawain: Damn it! They made a fool out of me!
Rackam: That's all the more reason to dispel the curse and overcome.
Vyrn: That's right! We'll show them who's boss!
Katalina: Hey, we're talking about the sorceress who defeated Gawain. It won't be easy to—
Gawain: Hey...
Rackam: Hm?
Gawain: I appreciate your help.
Katalina: ...!
Gawain: C-come on! Let's go! We're going to town to help people in need.
Gawain: Unlike you people, I don't have time to play around.
Vyrn: He's not honest with himself... I wonder how long it'll take him to get rid of the curse.
Lyria: But it feels like...
Vyrn: Hm? What's wrong?
Lyria: No, it's nothing... It's time to go help people!
On the one hand, Gawain strives for his unfinished dream. On the other, he tries to dispel the curse. While helping those they can, the crew's journey continues.
It's not until later that the crew notices someone watching over them from deep in the forest as the curse's effect slightly softens.
