Cast
Part 1: Southern San d'Oria (S)
Excenmille: Eyes frong! Let the council begin!
Rahal: First, I shall cover the intelligence report compiled by Engineer Bistillot.
Rahal: According to the information we gathered through the link... er, through our "sources"...
Rahal: Our elders have learned that the Bloodwing Horde is occupying the western half of Batallia Downs, and are planning an assault on their position.
Excenmille: The Bloodwing Horde? Is that not the very same horde that laid siege to our capital?
Rahal: Indeed. This vicious army is led by Doggvdegg, a massive Orc often mounted on a bugard. The Royal Knights barely managed to beat them back from the walls...
Rahal: This Orcish commander is considered so dangerous that a plan was devised wherein the Royal Knights and Temple Knights would fall upon the Bloodwings in a united attack.
Rholont: Such an operation could scarce fail! What befell?
Rahal: The operation has yet to be executed.
Excenmille: What is the meaning of this, Rahal?
Rahal: Ever since the assassination of General Mouchand... ah...
Rahal: Engineer Bistillot, if you would be so kind?
Bistillot: Before the opening of hostilities, many of the knights who supported this operation had fallen prey to a succession of assassinations.
Bistillot: This has naturally led to a serious delay in the mobilization of the troops.
Bistillot: And now the first cooperative operation since the start of the war is no longer--
Excenmille: Confound it! This is what happens when you leave matters to those squabbling fools!
Rahal: And now this Doggvdegg is roaming unchecked.
Excenmille: Then our duty is clear! We shall defeat these fiends ourselves! Tomorrow, we march to Batallia for Operation Clean and Sweep!
Bistillot: Captain, in this case, "Clean and Sweep" is not entirely accurate...
Rahal: One moment. How in the name of the Goddess are the Young Griffons supposed to triumph over an enemy the Royal Knights fear to tackle without the support of the Temple Knights?
Excenmille: We shall decide that on the field.
Rahal: ...
Rholont: Captain Excenmille! Royal Squire Altennia approaches.
Altennia: How fare you, Young Griffons?
Altennia: It seems PLAYERNAME has been accepted into your ranks.
Altennia: ...
Altennia: What befalls? This silence speaks volumes even if you do not.
Altennia: This better not be some reckless new plan in the making...
Altennia: Your decision to scout out Gigas activity on Gerlvan Isle was the last straw for my support of your "operations."
Excenmille: W-we are planning nothing of the sort. This is more of a "Clean and Sweep"...
Altennia: "Clean and Sweep"...?
Excenmille: Ah... you see...
Bistillot: Captain, as I stated before, "Clean and Sweep" is not --
Rahal: We need to clean up this territory. The mess is unbefitting of a knightly order.
Excenmille: E-exactly! What are you waiting for, Griffons!? Brooms! Rakes! I want this area spotless!
Altennia: That is a relief. I thought for a moment you meant "Clean and Sweep" in military terms.
Altennia: Very well, I shall leave you to your most important "operation."
Altennia: (Keep an eye on them, PLAYERNAME!)
Excenmille: Phew. That was close. If Altennia knew of our plans, she would shirk her duties just to thwart us.
Excenmille: PLAYERNAME. Be warned that if you so much as entertain the thought of betraying us to Altennia, your place in the Young Griffons is forfeit!
Excenmille: Eyes front! Operation Clean and Sweep commences at first light tomorrow!
Excenmille: Dismissed!

Rahal : PLAYERNAME!
The plan has gone awry!
Rahal : We were trying to reach Batallia Downs through the forest...
Rahal : ...but were set upon by Orcs...
Rahal : Eh!?
Rahal : Excenmille!
Rahal : He was right behind us.
We must have been separated!
Two orcs chase Excenmille to Lake Mechieume.
Zogbog : <Pant...pant>...
We have you now, little rabbit!
Excenmille : Hmph.
Wh-who has who!?
I shall slay you myself!
Zogbog : Ahaha...
Careful, the little rabbit has fangs.
Fangs I'll be happy to pull!
Zogbog : (Krogvoghog zokvokzog?)
Fingerfilcher Dradzad : (Glogdregbrukdnog...)
Zogbog : They followed the others?
Zogbog : Well, little rabbit, it's your lucky day.
You only have two Orcs to face.
Fingerfilcher Dradzad : Koddek drogvek vokbrokgreg!
Zogbog : He says he wants to slice your impudent hide into strips for his pet vulture!
Zogbog : Well, perhaps not in quite so many words...
Fingerfilcher Dradzad : Vokbrokgreg!
Vokbrokgreg!
Vokbrokgreg!
Excenmille : ...
Excenmille : You fear not the blade of a child?
Zogbog : Vokkrok vogkratgek...
Something familiar about you...
Zogbog : Those eyes...
Rahal : The rest of you, return to San d'Oria and fetch reinforcements! Find Squire Altennia!
Rahal : We were ambushed to the east of here.
Rahal : Excenmille cannot be far!

Excenmille : PLAYERNAME!?
Rahal appears.
Rahal : Excenmille!!
Excenmille : Rahal!
Zogbog : Excen...mille?
Zogbog : Yes...those eyes...
You are him, only...
Zogbog : Gahaha...
Zogbog : I have found you, Excenmille M Aurchiat!
Excenmille : Speak not my family name, cur!
And I am not yet...
Zogbog : Hm? Another face I recognize...
You are the "kind stranger" that helped me escape from my cage in San d'Oria.
Excenmille : !?
Rahal : You helped an Orc escape...?
Zogbog : My apologies, but after leaving my confinement, I recalled a rather important fact.
Zogbog : I was not, in actual fact, one of the barbaric Elvaan.
Zogbog : I have always been the glib-tongued Orc you see before you!
Fingerfilcher Dradzad : Koddek drukkreshblek!
Zogbog : Ah, my friend here is hungry for blood.
Perhaps you should dine on this unappetizing fool, before we begin on the main course of tender rabbit!
Fingerfilcher Dradzad : Keeeg!!

Fingerfilcher Dradzad falls to the ground, dead.
Zogbog : Dradzad...
The only blood spilled here was yours.
Zogbog : They do say the weak bark more than they bite...
Zogbog : ...!
Zogbog : Excenmille!
Zogbog : One day, I will come for you...
Zogbog : I will have my revenge!
Zogbog retreats. Elvaan soldiers appear on chocobos.
Altennia : Children! Are you unharmed!?
Excenmille : Altennia...
Tagloix : There may be more Orcs lurking in the underbrush.
I leave the children in your care, Squire.
Rahal : What is it, Excenmille?
Excenmille : ...
Altennia : Excenmille!
Altennia : I should have known something foolish was afoot!
I fair killed my chocobo in my rush across La Theine!
Excenmille : Hmph.
What do you expect us to do when our elders sit around arguing politics while Orcs run rampant!?
Altennia : Excenmille...
If only you knew how much your father, the count...
Altennia : ...
Altennia : <Sigh>...
If only you would have a care for your safety!
Altennia : But I am glad to find you whole and not hanging over some Orc's cooking fire.
Altennia : My thanks, PLAYERNAME.
Altennia : Who knows what grisly scene may have greeted me if you had no chased after these reckless fools...
Excenmille : PLAYERNAME!
Excenmille : I'll have you know I would have defeated both those fiends without your intervention!
Excenmille : And besides, what sort of buffoon is taken in by an Orc's promises, however glib!?
Excenmille : You are easily fooled.
Rahal : But you follow a code of honor, nonetheless.
Excenmille : Hmm...
Excenmille : You have yet to gain my full trust, but you are permitted to attend the next War Council!
Excenmille : In fact, that's an order from your captain!
Excenmille and Rahal run off to return to San d'Oria.
Altennia : Hehe. You should feel honored, PLAYERNAME.
It is rare an elder enjoys such praise from young Excenmille.
Altennia : Perhaps it is time you knew more of the child's background.
Altennia : Excenmille is bereft of a mother.
Altennia : I know not the finer details, but she was slain by an Orc that had infiltrated the capital.
Altennia : It was at a time when his father was absent on military duty...
Altennia : As you can imagine, Excenmille has had little respect for the competence of his elders since then.
Altennia : Ah, yes.
I also mean to investigate the Temple Knight you mentioned.
Altennia : From what I have learned so far, this Darvylle's history has a blemish or two...
Altennia : But aside from that, how did those boys learn of the Orcish Host's movements?
Altennia : Here, please accept this in payment for your vigilance.
Altennia : I will escort the children back to San d'Oria.
Altennia : Assuming I am able to catch them!
Altennia : <Sigh>...
Have they learned nothing from this ordeal!?
Altennia : Thank you again, PLAYERNAME.
Be on your guard in this forest.
Altennia : Young Griffons!
Your next operation will be to "Clean and Sweep" the Royal Knights' barracks!
