Just the person I was looking for. Do you have plans for the rest of the day?
link Shez volume_up
No, not really. I'm surprisingly free for once. Thought I'd put in some extra training.
link Holst volume_up
An admirable use of time. But I have a task I could use your help with that should prove even more enriching than training.
link Holst volume_up
Will you join me?
link Shez volume_up
Hey, if you're asking, I'm in.
link Holst volume_up
I thought as much. Come, we leave at once.
link Shez volume_up
Better than training, huh? What's going on?
link Holst volume_up
I'll explain on the way. Come, we leave at once.
link Shez volume_up
Holst, isn't this—
link Holst volume_up
Shhh! Lower your voice. There may well be sentries on patrol nearby.
link Shez volume_up
So this is enemy territory. Great.
link Holst volume_up
See that encampment over there? They set up just a few days ago.
link Holst volume_up
It's difficult to tell from here, but it doesn't seem to be that big of an operation.
link Shez volume_up
Wait, so this is a recon mission? Don't we have scouts for this sorta thing?
link Holst volume_up
I've been trying to ascertain how far the enemy has advanced.
link Holst volume_up
But lately, they've tightened up their security. Too many of our scouts have gone missing.
link Holst volume_up
I thought it would be more efficient to look into the matter personally.
link Shez volume_up
Still, I've never heard of a duke's son doing recon.
link Shez volume_up
Still, I've never heard of a duke doing recon.
link Holst volume_up
It saves everyone time if I do it myself, and I don't have to risk any more valuable soldiers.
link Holst volume_up
And besides, this way I can gain even more experience in the field. Even better than training, wouldn't you say?
link Shez volume_up
Speak for yourself. I had no idea what I was getting into, so I'm not close to ready for whatever's ahead.
link Holst volume_up
I know you're not the type to go down so easily. Trust me, you'll thank me for this later.
link Holst volume_up
Ah, and don't make light of reconnaissance. There are many lessons to be learned out here that training could never hope to teach you.
link Shez volume_up
All right, so what's next? We gonna take a closer look?
link Holst volume_up
Might as well, yes. It couldn't hurt to get into a little scuffle and gauge the enemy's strength.
link Shez volume_up
Sounds like the perfect opportunity to see you fight up close.
link Shez volume_up
All right, let's do this.
link Holst volume_up
That's the spirit. Now let's move!
link ??? volume_up
Hey! You're not supposed to be here!
link Holst volume_up
Seems we've been spotted. My name is Holst Sigiswald Goneril!
link Holst volume_up
Those with any skill or courage, have at thee!
link Shez volume_up
Why tell the enemy your name? Maybe recon really isn't his thing...
