Dialogue
«Scene: Practice fields in Deren»

Cerin: Greetings, «You»! Ready yourself for the intense training of the Frogzard Knights!

''A new option - Join Another Order! - is unlocked for you, and can be accessed from the Knight Class menu from this point on. You will now train as not just any ordinary Knight, but a Frogzard Knight. The Frogzard Knight Class shop is open as well, containing the Frogzard Knight Armor, which Cerin tells you to "use this equipment well''".

Cerin: Welcome to Deren, new recruit! Tathlin has spoken highly of you and believes you have excellent potential.

Cerin: Our order is best known for its tactical intellect and ability to adapt to a variety of combat conditions.

Cerin: This is because we embrace the traits of our order's mascot and mount: the Frogzard! Are you ready to learn how to ride one?
 * I'm ready!
 * I need more time to think about this. - (Returns you to the Knight menu.)

If you chose the "I'm ready" option:

Cerin: Excellent! You'll want to go get fitted for your new armor, and trade in your training gear.

You equip the temporary Frogzard Knight Armour and meet with Cerin on Deren's practice grounds.

Cerin: I'm glad to meet you, «You». Let's begin with...

A Frogzard Knight enters the scene.

Knight: My lord, I've received a report that the thief has struck aga... oh, I'm terribly sorry, have I interrupted something?

Cerin: It's quite alright. It figures that our little thief would strike another garrison's supplies at such an inconvenient time.

Cerin: With so many knights committed elsewhere, the thief has gotten bolder as he knows we have no one available to track him down....

«You»: Allow me, sir! I'll catch your thief!

Cerin: Hm, but you've not had any formal training yet. Still, with resources stretched thin, I suppose it's worth a try.

Cerin: Bring us one of the fastest steeds we have available.

Knight: Sir!

The Frogzard Knight leaves the scene.

Cerin: Are you quite certain that you can handle a Frogzard mount without training?

«You»: I will manage. If it means helping Deren, I'm happy to help.

The Frogzard Knight returns with a Frogzard mount.

Knight: This one is fast, but she has a fierce temper. Be careful!

«You»: I will be. And I will return with our thief.

Cerin: Excellent. I wish you luck, then.

'''The knight informs you that a garrison in a nearby village has been plagued by a thief who has been stealing supplies. The thief has struck the garrison many times, but has never been caught, leading Cerin to believe that the thief has some special training that allows it to avoid detection.'''

'''Following his advice, you ride swiftly to the garrison in the hopes of catching the thief. But will your mount cooperate with you in this effort?'''

Frogzard Cavalry

Have you gained your mount's trust?

Difficulty: 41

Stat Used: Charisma


 * «If you fail the roll...»

«If you succeed the roll...»

'''The mount seems to tolerate you for the time being and takes you straight to your destination, avoiding undue delays. You arrive at the garrison and wait for night...'''

«Scene: Garrison, night time»

«You»: All quiet so far....

A ninja dressed in grey drops from above.

???: Strange, the knights aren't supposed to patrol this route.

«You»: Wow. I didn't think you would drop in right in front of me. How convenient.

«You»: In the name of the Frogzard Knights, I hereby place you under arrest!

???: Ah, a tenderfoot knight. That explains the breech in our agreement.

«You»: Hey! Are you listening? Shouldn't you be... surrendering?

???: Not hardly. Look, you're new here so I'd really rather not kill you if possible.

«You»: Sorry, but I have orders to bring you in. You've got no choice but to fight me if you refuse to surrender!

???: A pity. I had hoped you would be less duty-bound, like your comrades. As you wish!


 * 1 BATTLE: Deren Ninja


 * Full Heal

???: You fool!

«You»: You have connections with the knights here, which means they let you steal their supplies! But why?

Cerin enters the scene.

Cerin: They were no doubt receiving compensation for looking the other way. How disappointing.

Cerin: I had hoped that perhaps you were a misguided member of our rather secretive allies, but it seems you're merely a petty thief.

???: Petty? I have more connections than you kn....

Cerin: I'm quite aware of your connections, actually. They were all arrested earlier this very night.

Cerin: My thanks, «You»! You made it all possible.

«Scene: Back at Deren's practice grounds»

Cerin: I see Tathlin's praise was well deserved. I am honored to welcome you into the Frogzard Knights!

'''Congratulations! You are now a Level 7 Knight, and have learned a new skill as a result of your training!'''
