Rogues & Redeemers 1/Script

From Fire Emblem Wiki, your source on Fire Emblem information. By fans, for fans.

Pre-Battle

Old Hubba: Ahh! You came! You're here again! ...Wait, why are you here again?
Chrom: The Outrealms, Old Hubba...? The Einherjar with minds of their own...? You asked us to keep defeating them until you could... You don't remember this?
Old Hubba: What? ...Ohh, yes, right! Saw this all years ago! I just...forget things sometimes... Oh! I got you allies this time! Bamboozled 'em into thinking they summoned you! Heh. At least...I think I did? Memory's been a bit fuzzy lately, to tell the truth…
Chrom: Yes, I noticed...

Battle

Ares: We have them trapped in the castle ruins.
Camus: And the exits?
Ares: Guarded by our forces on all sides. The enemy has no means of escape.
Camus: Then all that remains is to rally our might and crush them.
Ares: It may not be so simple.
Camus: What do you mean?
Ares: More enemy soldiers just...appeared inside the compound. They bear peculiar weapons and armor…
Camus: They just appeared? Summoned here from some other realm?
Ares: It seems so, as mad as that sounds. We still outnumber them, but against these mysterious new soldiers…
Camus: An all-out assault could prove disastrous... All right. Let's feed the fire gradually, then. Poke at them. Test their skills and defenses. Spread the word.
Ares: Right.

(camera pans to the center)

Chrom: The enemy has blocked all the exits. How will we fight our way out of this one?
Sigurd: That's why we summoned you. We need your help to break the enemy siege.
Chrom: So all we need to do is secure you an exit?
Sigurd: That is our immediate goal... But this land will never know peace with men like them on the loose.
Chrom: So we need to wipe them all out. Understood…
Seliph: Father! The enemy is mobilizing for an attack!
Sigurd: This is it, then. Seliph, make sure every soldier knows: we make our stand here! Our otherworldly comrades will lead us to victory!
Seliph: Yes, Father!
Sigurd: We're counting on you, friends.
Chrom: We won't let you down.

(turn 1 enemy phase)

Black Knight: Hmph... The reinforcements seem to have bolstered the enemy's spirits. But in the end, it matters not. We will crush them.

(turn 1 other phase)

Ephraim: We can't let rogues like them overrun this land. Now is the time to fight back with all our might!

(turn 2 enemy phase)

Gharnef: Heh heh... Why do they still squirm? They haven't even a sliver of hope!

(turn 3 enemy phase)

Petrine: Ha! They just don't give up! But that's fine... The more they struggle, the sweeter the victory in the end...

Enemy battle-entry lines

These lines are the normal battle-entry lines. For the special conversations invoked between special characters, see Rogues & Redeemers 1/Conversations.

Saias: Put away your weapon. You'll only get hurt.
Katarina: Defeating you will give us the edge...won't it?
Petrine: Ha! Look at this pathetic itch who's come to get scratched!
Eldigan: One step closer, and you'll feel the pain of regret!
Travant: I should withdraw now...but then again, I was well compensated…
Raydrik: Come to strike me down? Ha! It will never happen, fool!
Black Knight: Turn around and leave, or stay here and face your end!
Zephiel: All of your futures are about to be cut short!
Marisa: A fight? If you want…
Raigh: Walk away before you get hurt. I have no business with you.
Narcian: Splendid. I was looking for someone to bring me glory.
Oliver: In the face of my beauty, none prevail. In the wake of my beauty, none remain.
Gharnef: Only a fool would raise a hand to strike me!
Arvis: Forget talk. My flames will purge you from this world!
Sephiran: Why did you come to this world? That's what I want to know. But I suppose you'll be on the ground before I get my answer…
Navarre: You're next.
Ashnard: Heh, I see the conviction in your eye. Now, fight me with all you've got!
Camus: You rats have eluded us long enough. Now we finish this!
Ishtar: I'm sorry. I have no choice!
Hardin: Come to meet your end? Have a taste of real power!
Lyon: What I am doing is just. It is right!
Jaffar: ...Not a step further.
Ursula: You look lonely. Shall I give you some attention?
Ares: I'll never lose to dogs like you who answer only to the call of war!
Selena: You underestimate me if you think I'll succumb to the likes of you.
Linus: Pray. I'll give you that much time. All the evil that you've done up to now... Repent it, and sleep.
Lloyd: In the name of the Fang, I sentence you to death. Do not blame me for your fate. It is your own doing.
Nergal: Heh heh... You can writhe against fate, but you will never be free of it. This world was meant to be ours!
Jamke: Leave, unless you want me to decorate you with arrows!
Julius: Have you gone mad? You cannot even touch me.

Post-Battle

If Sigurd survived

Chrom: Did we get them all?
Sigurd: It seems so. And we owe it all to your intervention, sir.
Chrom: We're happy to be of help. Now if there's nothing else, we should be going…
Sigurd: I understand. Thank you again. Oh, but wait. You should have this, sir.
Chrom: It's an Einherjar card. "Ephraim, Restoration King"... The one from Magvelian lore.
Sigurd: Here. I trust you know how to make use of it.

If Sigurd did not survive

Chrom: That's the last of the enemy. But our allies here took heavy casualties... We should have fought better. It was close. Too close. Next time we'll need to be more careful. Hmm? What's that stuck to the wall there? An Einherjar card... "Ephraim, Restoration King"? The one from Magvelian lore? I bet he has a story to tell...

Ephraim Recruitment Conversation

Ephraim: Thank you. We couldn't have won without your help. The world is bigger than I thought if warriors like you have eluded my attention. I can tell I have much to learn from you. I am Ephraim. Do the people of your world know my name?

(Question: Have you heard of Ephraim?)

(if answering Yes)
Ephraim: Tales of my exploits must have spread far, then. I don't know whether to feel proud or embarrassed. They don't say anything...strange about me, do they?

(if answering No)
Ephraim: Right. It was a silly question. I still have a ways to go. But one day, I'll perfect the art of war and do battle with great heroes... Then people of your world will whisper my name during their campfire tales.

(after the previous answer)
Ephraim: You said your name was Robin, yes? Can I ask you something? Are there many great warriors like you in your world? I seek a place where I can fight the mightiest heroes alive. ...What's that? Yes, I suppose I do come across as something of a warmonger. My sister already gives me an earful about "kingly behavior." But what can I say? Something in my heart drives me to fight. I don't mean to glorify war, and I desire peace for my people... But I also enjoy testing my limits and pushing my enemies to theirs. Surely this hunger resides in any man with strength enough to sate it? In the heat of battle, there is no hatred, no morality, no profit or loss... There is only that moment. And sometimes, that is enough... Don't you agree?

(Question: Have you ever fought just for the fight?)

(if answering Yes)
Ephraim: You see? I thought I saw a little of myself in you. Your tactics suggest that you take pleasure from the fight. There's a vexing contradiction there—enjoying the war that leads to the peace. But up until now, I could speak of this with only my sister. You're a unique <man/woman>... Robin, why don't we fight right now? Sate our hunger? No words, no reasons. Just a fight for fighting's sake. Let's go! ...Whew. I can't seem to beat you, Robin. But for the first time in a while, I've had my fill. I'll challenge you again once I'm stronger. You can count on that. I'm glad we've met. I needed a healthy rival. I promise to be there for you on any battlefield. Just say the word.

(if answering No)
Ephraim: Really? Then maybe it is just me. I suppose the best tacticians must be able to fight impassively. Robin, do you think you could teach me strategy? ...What? Is it that strange for me to ask? I'm not JUST about bashing heads. You won't make a bookworm of me, but I can find time to study battle. And what better teacher than you? Do we have a deal?

(should the player choose to recruit Ephraim)

Ephraim: I'd appreciate your help.
