Chapter 18  Ah! Sunshine, fresh air, dry feet. Life sure is looking up  It's a bit of a walk to the next town and nothing new pops up at you. If you don't know where to go you might get a bit lost.  Welcome to Moreau. It's a quaint little town with not much to see or do. This town, as well as the last have been empty store wise because a new evil king *cough* Batista *cough* has taken over and made life harsh.  It does have a fun little plaza though. Those cat things kind of freak me out a bit. A lot of modern JRPG's have different sentient species that populate the world. As far as I know this is the only time these cats appear in Destiny. Let's go see what their deal is.  Oh they're recruiting furries.  Or maybe not. Sadly they don't say what their way of life is.   "Hidden Features! New Characters! Faster Gameplay! New Fighting Styles! This is a shameless plug!"  "What the?"  Beyond that, there's nothing else of interest in Moreau beside plot hunt. This time it's a touch easier than talking to every NPC because it triggers automatically when you enter the scene.   "Shaddap! This punk bumped into me on purpose! I can do whatever I please with him!"  "Mommmmmmmmy!"  "Please, you can do anything to me but please spare him, please."  "Oooooooh, you make me want to cry. Well, this is usually grounds for a public execution, but I'm deeply moved by your words." "You mean..." "I'll spare the child under special circumstances and punish him with a public whipping."  See, he's not such a bad guy after all.  Stahn, however, seems to disagree.     "Oh, my boy!" "Mommy!"  And they leave with out a word of thanks. The jerks.  "You've gone too far!"  "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!!! I won't let you get away with that!" I bet you will!  It's a laughably easy fight.   Mr.Guard Leader just ditches his fallen bros.  "I think we already passed that point."  "Then, it's time to get outta here!" "I agree!"  Just go ahead and start humming "Yakkity Sax" for a bit. It's what I did.   "You idiot!"  "Yes! What kind of idiot would attack like that out of the blue?!" "What?! I couldn't bear to watch! I couldn't help it!" "Bah! That doesn't mean you have to go in there and start Aeth'er wars II!!" "Then are you saying I should let myself be caught by them?!" Normally I'd say yes but I don't want to grind through a dungeon level. "We have no time to argue like this!"   "They couldn't have gotten that far! Leave no stone unturned! Find them!"   Throw Stahn to the wolves so this doesn't happen again and finish the game ourselves!   "Whoa! Wait, Mary, wait!" Valhalla waits for no one!  I'm guessing Rutee picked this hiding spot. "There they are!" "Oh, @#$%!"   "What?"  "Hurry up! Do you want to get caught?!" Well your text box is in a friendly blue so I guess it's okay to trust you. "All right, all right!"    "They should be around here! Search everywhere!" "Wait a sec."   "Me? I'm Karyl. People call me 'Blue Lightning'." Blue...Lighting? "Whoever you are, if you interfere, you'll regret it!" "Right on, gotcha. You really want to listen to my tunes that much?!" "Huh?" "Well, if you insist." "What's this idiot yammering on about?" "Atchung baby, here's Karyl's song #1! Here we go, baby!"  "Leave this wacko alone! Let's go!" "Hey, hey, wait, wait a minute! Listen to the rest of my songs."  What have we gotten ourselves into?    We should have tried the Looney Tunes defense earlier. "Oh, no sweat. So, what are they after you for? What's your story?" "What?" "Although the guards are chasing you, you don't look like criminals. Lessee here, there's a swordsman from Seinegald, a priestess from Straylize temple, and a pretty girl. Well, you have quite a motley crew here."  "You seem to know a lot." "Yeah, you could say that." He's a spy! Kill him! "Who are you?" "Me? I'm Karyl. I guess you could call me a wandering troubadour."  "That's what I call myself at least. So, I've got a question for you." "What is it?" "Are you after Batista?"  "H, how did you know that?!" "I thought so." "Why did you have to tell him that?" "......(oops)" Oh you lovable doofus. "Well, if that's the case, I have a proposition to make." "What is it?" "My best friend's been caught by that bum. I'd really like your help so I can rescue him... How about teaming up?" "All right. Let's go together." "Hey, not so fast, Stahn!" "Don't go off and make decisions by yourself!"  "But don't you think it's better to have more people on our side?"  "I agree." "But we can't let a complete stranger join us." "He just helped us. Doesn't that count for something?" "...I understand. But we have to get Batista first. After that, we can rescue his friend." "That's fine. I know I'm asking a lot from you."   "You guys stirred up the place pretty good, so I'll lead the way for now.  And for a little bit, our sprite changes. Current Stats       Also we're coming across a pretty big Dungeon next. I could use a party vote. Pick two members and remember that Stahn can't be taken out.
