===Beginning log===
[[Perne]] recruits [[Salem]] into his group of bandits, the Dandelion, and declares that he plans to leave some new recruits behind soon, as they are bloodthirsty and the Dandelion is not meant to be that way. He intends to abscond with [[Troude]] and [[Tina]], as well as Salem. He then enters the Dandelion's hideout and leaves Salem behind as a lookout.
After breaking through Dandrum Fortress, [[Leif]] hurried towards [[Tahra]], hearing that the Empire was soon to launch a full-scale attack on the city. Dacia is a wide forest located to the east of [[Tahra]]. When [[Leif]] arrived at Dacia Forest, the area was darkening.
 
In the meantime, inside a house near Dacia Forest, [[Saias]] leaves [[Mareeta]] in an elderly woman's care. Before he takes his leave, he gives Mareeta the [[Shadow Sword]] and tells her that she should wield it, even though it once possessed her.
 
After Saias leaves, bandits under command of [[Cullough]]—one of the Dandelion's most infamous new recruits—attack the village where Mareeta is. Mareeta pledges to protect the village despite the protests of her caretaker and rushes out to meet the bandits. In the meantime, Tina comes out of the Dandelion's hideout to bring Salem some food, and Salem reassures her that they will find her sister, whom she misses dearly.
 
Once the battle ends, if it was finished quickly, [[Dryas]] tells [[Leif]] to seize the Dandelion's hideout and eliminate the bandit problem in the area. If the battle was not finished quickly, [[August]] tells Leif that the Dandelion is a surprisingly honorable group of bandits and they should be left alone, so Leif's forces do not storm the hideout. Regardless of what Leif does next, if Mareeta survived the battle, she meets with Leif and joins his forces while making a mutual promise with him that they will go back to Munster for [[Eyvel]] one day.

Using the [[Warp (staff)|warp staff]] to conveniently complete the map is recommended considering the high concentration of forest tiles. However, it is also important to note that this chapter has the only [[Skill items#Skill items in Thracia 776|Vantage Manual]] in the entire game—which may work well on a unit such as [[Olwen]]—as well as a vendor that sells [[Wind (tome)|Wind]] tomes, the next such vendor appearing in [[The Liberation War|Chapter 21]].
Because of the heavy terrain, unpromoted mounted units will have less movement than their infantry counterparts, while promoted mounted units will move at the same rate as their infantry counterparts.


To complete the map without the warp staff, keep in mind that a Bridge Key is recommended (one of the Brigands here has one), and the chapter must be completed within 20 turns to reach the [[Dandelion|following sidequest]]. The Brigands are capable of stealing items, but they are basic enemies with Iron Axes and pose little to no threat. [[Salem]] can be recruited by capturing him and not releasing him; though he is not required for the sidequest, his C-rank [[staves]] can be helpful.
Using the [[Warp]] to capture [[Salem]] on turn 1 is recommended to avoid having him inflict [[Sleep (status)|Sleep]] on the player's units. [[Salem]] can be recruited by capturing him and not releasing him; while he is not required for the side quest, his staff utility makes him worth the effort. His [[Jormungand]] tome will weigh him down to the point where he has 0 attack speed, and he also has poor defense and HP, making him a relatively easy capture. While there are reinforcements from the north, the Gate's bonuses negate their risk, even with the penalties of capturing. Warp can also conveniently complete the map given the high concentration of forest tiles. However, it is also important to note that this chapter has the only [[Vantage Manual]] in the entire game—which may work well on a unit such as [[Olwen]] or [[Asbel]]—as well as a vendor that sells [[Wind]] tomes, the next such vendor appearing in [[The War of Liberation|Chapter&nbsp;21]].


To complete the map without the warp staff, keep in mind that a drawbridge will need to be closed (one of the Brigands conveniently has a [[Bridge Key]]), and the chapter must be completed within 20 turns to reach [[The Dandelion|the following side quest]]. [[Karin]] is recommended to avoid the heavy terrain, and because she can fly over the water she allows the player to skip [[Cullough]] without a Warp use. The Brigands are capable of stealing items, but they are very slow and usually unable to steal.
