Wolfskin Peak: Difference between revisions

As we witness Corrin, Ryoma, and [[Takumi]] arriving onto the slopes of Mount Garou, with Corrin in particular tired from the trek and comparing the trek with their [[Fierce Winds|trek up the]] [[Wind Tribe#Eternal Stairway|Eternal Stairway]], stating that the group need not worry about their physical conditioning; Ryoma states that the physical demands of Mount Garou's slopes aren't their only worry, then suggests to Corrin that they take a break, to which Corrin states that {{#switch:{{#var:A}}|male=he|female=she}} is okay but notes that they've put some distance on the rest of their army and suggests that they give them a chance to catch up and rest.  Ryoma states that he'll backtrack and alert the leaders of the trailing groups, then notices some enemies in the area, telling Corrin to watch out; three [[wolfskin]] appear, to which Corrin asks if they're monsters sent by Nohr, after which Ryoma explains who the wolfskin are, a tribe with [[Beaststone|shapeshifting abilities]] and the other hazard associated with crossing Mount Garou.  The leader of the wolfskin, [[Keaton]], asks Corrin what {{#switch:{{#var:A}}|male=his|female=her}} army are doing in his den, to which Corrin asks Keaton who he is; Keaton introduces himself and states that they can't have his fur--a previous group of humans had come for his fur, and he ended up collecting their bones instead, to which Ryoma confirms Keaton does indeed have a collection of human bones.  Corrin explains to Keaton that {{#switch:{{#var:A}}|male=his|female=her}} group are not after Keaton's fur but are merely passing through the area, and even asks the rest of the group to put down their weapons; Ryoma and Takumi have initial doubts, but they eventually go through with Corrin's plan, which convinces Keaton to let Corrin's group through.  Right as Corrin thanks Keaton for his generosity, one of the other wolfskin is killed by a previously-set dark magic trap; Corrin asks {{#switch:{{#var:A}}|male=his|female=her}} group to get down, noticing that the explosion is from the same kind of energy [[Mother|unleashed by the]] [[Ganglari]] and asks if they've been set up by [[Garon]] again.  Keaton attempts to rouse his fallen comrade, then deduces that Corrin was responsible for setting off the dark magic trap, to which Corrin denies but Keaton vowing the same fate to Corrin's army that befell the wolfskin hit by the dark magic trap; Keaton attempts to attack Corrin, but Kaze arrives on the scene and defends {{#switch:{{#var:A}}|male=him|female=her}}.  Kaze suggests that Corrin mobilize the army or else suffer heavy losses, with Keaton vowing to not let any of Corrin's army through alive; Corrin sees that they have no choice and begs the wolfskin for forgiveness for the ensuing battle.  [[Battle preparations]] take place at this point; the battle begins once preparations are complete.
