I've heard you're good, Player.

But how good are you?

Player: "Very."

Really? Are you good enough to retake Asteria Fortress for us?

You know how it goes: not enough men, no reinforcements, you freelance Daevas are all we've got.

So we have been planning strategies to get the fortress back, but the problem is always the number of troops.

Player: "Oh, I've been there before all right."

Good, maybe you've got an idea what our plan is.

We're going to hit them in several places at once, split up their troops so they'll be easier to deal with.

Obviously, we can't do it without volunteer help. You think you can help?

Player: Accept.

All right, here's your part of the plan: you're going to get rid of their weapons. They're not going to fight without weapons.

Let me put it more concretely: destroy Asteria Fortress Garrison, and bring Asteria Guardian's Weapon to me.

Only when the fortress is vulnerable, obviously.

Player: "On my way."

Oh, Player. Did you do it?

You look a little tired. Let's hope that's a good sign.

Player: "Here's the weapons, like you asked."

"Like you asked?" There's no weapons here.

I guess you must've gotten tired just taking a nap.

Player: "I'll be back."

That's the weapons, all right. Look at those showy Ellie pieces of trash.

All flair, no bite.
Anyway, here's your reward, Player.
