Summary[]
| Location | Orbonne Monastery |
|---|---|
| Previous Mission | 1.16: Partings |
| Next Mission | 2.2: Ambush at Dorter |
This scene occurs immediately after the movie from the end of Mission 1.16, but is, chronologically, an immediate follow-up to the Prologue.
The player has the option to invite Ladd, Alicia, and Lavian to the party at the end of this cutscene. Gaffgarion and Agrias will also be guest units (in the 25th and 26th spot). All will be at approximately the same level as in the Prologue battle, so they'll likely be a bit behind your regular troops. If you plan to use the three support characters in your normal lineup, you'll want to spend a few random battles on character development before proceeding.
Upon returning to the world map, the party stands at Orbonne Monastery, to the south of Dorter. There is also a path between Eagrose Castle and Ziekden Fortress.
Cutscenes[]
The plot returns to the aftermath of the kidnapping at Orbonne. Gaffgarion, Ramza, and Ladd converse on the path while Alicia and Lavian stand nearby.
Gaffgarion: What's this, Ramza? Do you know him?
Ramza: ...
The door of the monastery opens, and Agrias steps forth from within.
Agrias: He carries the princess with him. They'll not be able to travel far.
Gaffgarion: You mean to give chase?
Agrias: What else? I will not return to the Crown in shame!
Gaffgarion: Well, you'll have no help from us! Our agreement said naught of this.
Agrias: I would not accept your help if you offered it! A true knight is all too eager to set right what he has let go amiss. The Lionsguard will serve the king's justice. Lavian, Alicia. We leave at once!
Simon exits the monastery.
Agrias: Elder Simon! You are unharmed?
Elder Simon: The princess...! What of the princess?
Agrias shakes her head regretfully.
Agrias: She is taken. I am sorry. But you may put your fears to rest. We go to rescue her!
Simon: No. No, milady, you mustn't! You would only throw your own life away.
Agrias: Your worry will find no purchase with me. A knight is oathbound to render aid!
Ramza: I want to go with you! I'll be no trouble to you, I swear it!
Gaffgarion: Nonsense, Ramza! This is no concern of ours!
Ramza: I must go! I must know if it's truly him!
Gaffgarion: The boy, eh?
Ramza nods slowly.
Gaffgarion: Well, there it is. Gods know where this path leads us.
The scene ends as the two groups become one.
