War on Paxia!

War on Paxia! is the second quest of the Chessmaster Saga.

Dialogue
''Paxia, the Isle of Elements. Many adventurers come here to pledge their [sometimes temporary] loyalty to one of the Eight Clans and to compete against the others. Your visit today, however, is not for fun and games.''

«Scene: Paxia, Clan Geoto.»

You may skip this cutscene at any time.

Geoto: Good of you to come, «You».

«You»: Well, how could I refuse such an urgent request... by hounds... hungry hounds... I still have my arm, right?

Geoto: Forgive me, I forget that my messengers get overeager at times and the urgency was such that I might have interrupted their lunch.

Geoto: In any event, I trust you wish to know why I called you here.

Geoto moves backward and the Wind Orb is revealed.

«You»: !!!

«You»: Is that really--?

Geoto: The Orb of Wind. Ironic that it should turn up in the base of my Clan of Earth. It does present a bit of a dilemma though.

«You»: How so?

Geoto: Paxia has been about balance and camaraderie for a while now. The presence of this single orb can ruin that and spawn mistrust.

Geoto: I therefore must see that it leaves Paxia, and I feel that I can trust you to do that.

«You»: Sounds simple enough.

Geoto Clan Member enters.

Geoto Clan Member: *whispers*

Geoto Clan Member leaves.

Geoto: It would seem that the matter has become slightly more complicated. We have another visitor, and this one has brought an army.

Geoto: I fear he means to take the orb by force.

«You»: You got all that from one whisper?

Geoto: No, this is his second visit. He threw quite the tantrum when I wouldn't give him the orb. It was like a tornado had entered the room.

Geoto: When my clan told me of the group he was leading back here, I pieced the rest together. Forgive me, friend, but I am afraid you'll have to help us fight. I will request aid from the other clans.

Geoto leaves.

Geoto: (off-Scene) Aerodu will not be pleased that I neglected to tell him about the orb before now.

«You»: Alright then. Geoto Clan, TO ARMS!
 * War!

Tempest Tantrum!

The Wind Orb mysteriously appeared within the Geoto Earth Clan base! Geoto doesn't know how... and to make matters worse, someone is leading an army to claim the orb for himself!

Geoto: I trust you aren't here because things are going well?

Geoto Clan Member: Sir! We're holding them off but they're employing the Z-Rush maneuver. It's only a matter of time before they overwhelm us.

Geoto: I see.

Nautica enters.

Nautica: I'm a bit surprised to hear that you'd come here, Geoto. Feeling nostalgic?

Geoto: *chuckles* Perhaps, old friend. It's sobering, isn't it? How close we three came to the brink of disaster? We were so naive.

Geoto: And yet here we stand again, with the enemy bearing down on us, because of me.

Nautica: Do not blame yourself. You acted with the best of intentions and nobody can fault you for that.

Geoto: When even «You», one of the greatest heroes of Lore, is just fending off the foe? We must face the truth. I acted foolishly.

Nautica: *sigh* You were ever as firm in your conviction as the ground itself, Geoto, but if you are done burying yourself in self-loathing--

Nautica: -- I know a wise man who wishes to speak with you, one who believes he can aid in the defense of Paxia.

Scene zooms in on the water in the background, where Jacques swims.
