Vortex of Strategy/Script

Note: the script is from the Lyn Normal mode.

Opening Narration
Passing through Araphen and Khathelet, Lyn and her friends arrive at in Caelin. However, Caelin is now under the rule of Lord Lundgren. Lundgren's henchmen lay in wait to assassinate Lyn. They wait for her approach and ready a special weapon.

Opening Dialogue
(The map is shown, Lyn, Mark, Florina, Nils, Ninian, Kent, Sain, Wil arrive in the northwest corner.) (The map shows a ballista firing on Lyn but the shot misses.)
 * Lyn: Look, Mark! The mountains seem so far away now. We've come such a long way...
 * Sain: Milady Lyndis! Mark! We can't be far from the castle now!
 * Kent: By my reckoning, we can reach Castle Caelin in two days if we hurry.
 * Lyn: Two more days... Hold on, Grandfather. Please...
 * Florina: Cheer up, Lyn. If they see you looking so sad, the entire company will lose heart.
 * Lyn: Florina... You're right. There's nothing to be gained by worrying. We just have to press onward.
 * Florina: That's the spirit!
 * Nils: Lyn... Danger approaches...
 * Lyn: What did you say?
 * Sain: I don't see anything. Are you sure?
 * Ninian: I feel it, too. I'm sure of it. Ah! Milady, don't move!
 * Lyn: Hm?
 * Lyn: What in--Where did this bolt come from?
 * Kent: They have a ballista!
 * Sain: Lord Lundgren is getting serious. Deploying siege engines is no mean feat.
 * Lyn: What is a ballista?
 * Kent: It's a weapon designed for long-distance attacks. Only archers can use them, but they can be devastating.
 * Sain: Florina! You must stay aground! Do not take to the air! The ballista would target you in an instant.
 * Lyn: Is there a way to combat it?
 * Kent: The safest course is to use someone with good defense as bait, so the enemy wastes arrows.
 * Sain: Then you can walk up and knock the fool on the head.
 * Lyn: Wil, can you use a ballista?
 * Wil: I've never tried, but... It's just a really big bow, right? I should be able to figure it out.
 * Lyn: All we can ask is that you try... Let's see what we can do!

Before Battle
(On Preparations Screen)
 * Matthew: Ah, Lady Lyndis! Mark! I have some minor... business... to attend to. I'm unable to join you. If you need any of my possessions, please take them now.

Visiting the Village

 * Villager: So how much do you know about magic, huh? Magical attacks are special. You can't just avoid 'em like a sword or an axe. Not even if you're wearing armor. Who's tough against magic? Let me think... Well, anyone who uses magic or staves. Pegasus knights, too. Hm? You got others who need to battle magic users? I got something for 'em. It's a special kind of water. "Pure water," it's called. Just sprinkle a bit on you. It'll protect you and lessen the damage you take a bit. Go on, take it. Don't be so shy. It'snot like I'm givin' you gold or anything. This stuff's strongest when you first put it on. It gets weaker as time passes, so be careful.
 * In-game message Got a Pure Water.

Engaging with any other unit

 * Heintz: Who are you supposed to be? Playing the heroes in some foolish knightly romance? You may think you're helping the children, but you're only rushing to your doom!

Heintz is Defeated

 * Heintz: You were only... striking at air... You are...too late. The girl is already--
