Line 13: Line 17:
After defeating the bandits led by [[Migal]], [[Lyn]] and co. decide to rest for the night in an abandoned fortress. Inside the fortress Lyn encounters [[Natalie]], a woman who, though injured from a childhood sickness, has traveled from her nearby village in search of her husband, [[Dorcas]], who she fears has gotten himself involved in dangerous work for her sake. Natalie presents a sketch of Dorcas to Lyn but she tells Natalie that she has not seen Dorcas. Natalie requests that if Lyn does see him, that she tell Dorcas that "Natalie is looking for him." Lyn promises to deliver her message if she does encounter him.

Natalie presents a sketch of Dorcas to Lyn but she tells Natalie that she has not seen Dorcas. Natalie requests that if Lyn does see him, that she tell Dorcas that "Natalie is looking for him." Lyn promises to deliver her message if she does encounter him.


Soon after, the [[Ganelon Bandits]], lead by [[Carjiga]], gather outside and prepare to attack. [[Kent]] informs Lyn that they are under attack. [[Sain]] suggests they confront them head on; however, Lyn declines Sain’s idea as doing so would leave Natalie vulnerable. Lyn then decides that they should fight with their main goal being to protect Natalie. During the battle, Lyn recognizes Dorcas and reprimands him for enlisting in such underhanded work. Dorcas admits he did it so he could afford medicine for his wife. Lyn then mentions that they are protecting Natalie inside the fortress right now, instantly convincing him to fight on her side

[[Sain]] suggests they confront them head on; however, Lyn declines Sain's idea as doing so would leave Natalie vulnerable. Lyn then decides that they should fight with their main goal being to protect Natalie. During the battle—necessarily in Normal Mode, and at the player's discretion in Hard Mode—Lyn recognizes Dorcas and reprimands him for enlisting in such underhanded work. Dorcas admits he did it so he could afford medicine for his wife. Lyn then mentions that they are protecting Natalie inside the fortress right now, instantly convincing him to fight on her side


After seven turns pass, the bandits give up and flee the battlefield, allowing Dorcas and Natalie to reunite. Dorcas tells Lyn that he will take Natalie home and return tomorrow as he has been invited by the [[Tactician (The Blazing Blade)|Tactician]] to fight for Lyn. The group then returns to the fortress to rest for the night.
After seven turns pass, the bandits give up and flee the battlefield. If Dorcas was not recruited, he remains on the field, where Lyn recognizes him and informs him Natalie is in the fortress; Dorcas and Natalie then reunite. If Dorcas was not recruited or fell in battle, Dorcas informs Lyn that he and Natalie will be returning to their village, and Lyn wishes them well. If he was recruited and did not fall in battle, Dorcas tells Lyn that he will take Natalie home and return tomorrow, as he has been invited by [[Mark]] to fight for Lyn. The group then returns to the fortress to rest for the night.
 
===Beginning log===
"After defeating the bandits, [[Lyn]] continues westward. She and her colleagues stop for the night at a ruined fortress. The Ganelon bandits are in a rage after their brethren fell to [[Mani Katti|Lyn's sword]]. They race in pursuit of the companions. Their angry footsteps sound closer and closer..."

In normal mode, you will be forced to move [[Lyn]] to cover the east entrance and recruit [[Dorcas]] on the following turn. You will also be prevented from moving any units outside the fortress on turn 1. After recruiting Dorcas, the game forces you to attack with the [[Hand Axe]]. After this tutorial, you are free to finish the chapter however you see fit.

[[Kent]] and [[Sain]] should be able to handle the axe-fighters approaching from the south and the reinforcements approaching from the same direction. After Dorcas is recruited and the fighter behind him has been defeated, leave [[Florina]] behind to guard the east entrance from the [[Mercenary]] reinforcements. [[Wil]] can be used anywhere to help weaken enemies for underleveled units or bait the archer near [[Carjiga]]. The enemies on the west can be managed by one of the cavaliers and Wil.

You can send one of the cavaliers to handle the boss, however doing so will only give a large sum of exp and will not stem the flow of reinforcements or end the chapter early. Furthermore, Sain or Kent will have to spend an additional turn getting back to the fortress to take care of any remaining units. The cavalier that is sent to kill the boss will need to have eight [[speed]] and enough [[HP]] and [[defense]] to potentially survive two hits from the Carjiga’s [[Steel Axe]] in order to secure a quick and easy kill.

The safest approach to beating this chapter is to line up the cavaliers in the hallway just south of Natalie, move the other units behind them, and wait out the rest of the time there, healing the cavalier in the front with [[Vulnerary|Vulneraries]] as needed. This method is fast but will severely limit the amount of experience units can obtain.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Some of the reinforcement [[Brigand]]s in this chapter possess a C [[weapon rank]] in [[sword]]s despite never wielding anything but [[Iron Axe]]s.
* Some of the reinforcement [[Brigand]]s in this chapter possess a C [[weapon level]] in [[sword]]s despite never wielding anything but [[Iron Axe]]s. This occurs because they share their character data with mercenaries that also appear in the chapter.
