# What happened between you two? **Quest Group**: 115939 **Steps**: 45 ## Summary Captain Andre! How long are you going to dwell on the misunderstandings of the past? Misunderstandings? Who am I misunderstanding? You, who outshone your superior on the battlefield, driven by ambition, and boasted of your exploits? You've held onto this resentment for far too long. I'll be reporting this to the council! Report? Ah, honorable Lord Valks... once I've claimed a glorious victory, what weight will your pathetic report have? ## Walkthrough ### Step 1 - **Reward**: Shut up! I'm the one in charge here! I control everything in this place! Am I clear? Captain Andre, please! ### Step 2 - **Objective**: What happened between you two? - **Summary**: Captain Andre! How long are you going to dwell on the misunderstandings of the past? Misunderstandings? Who am I misunderstanding? You, who outshone your superior on the battlefield, driven by ambition, and boasted of your exploits? You've held onto this resentment for far too long. I'll be reporting this to the council! Report? Ah, honorable Lord Valks... once I've claimed a glorious victory, what weight will your pathetic report have? ### Step 3 - **Reward**: I can almost hear the words dripping like venom from your mouth: "I had no other choice. Vidal refused to act on the matter!" ### Step 4 - **Objective**: You'd be held accountable for neglecting Quint. - **Summary**: Wolfgang! I know what you're up to. You will go to the council and report on this. You'll say you stepped into to solve everything when the man in charge failed to perform in his full capacity. You'll pin all the blame on ME! ### Step 5 - **Reward**: Ha! Look at you, what a noble man. Say we don't send them. What do you think will happen to me as the one in charge? ### Step 6 - **Objective**: That's true. - **Summary**: Wolfgang Valks! You will never rob me of my glory again! Adventurer! What are you doing?! It's not about who gets the credit here! Captain! Defeating Quint is not a matter of credit. The lives of many soldiers will be lost! ### Step 7 - **Reward**: At least you understand me. This operation is my responsibility! ### Step 8 - **Objective**: Now's not the time for personal vendettas, is it? - **Summary**: You... You're just like him. There's no reasoning with either of you. Captain Vidal! I followed you because I trusted you. You know that I was just following orders! I'm sick of your hollow words... I will not let you steal my glory again! ### Step 9 - **Reward**: You intend to chalk up your despicable act of dismissing a direct order... to mere luck? ### Step 10 - **Objective**: What do you mean? - **Summary**: Captain Vidal, it was merely the result of being in the right place at the right time. Luck was the only determining factor. Nothing more. More hogwash. You're the one who charged into the battle when Commander Castillion took the field. ### Step 11 - **Reward**: You won't get your way, Wolfgang Valks. Not this time. I'll make sure of it. ### Step 12 - **Objective**: War shouldn't be a means to achieve success. - **Summary**: What about him?! He took the credit for MY military exploits and rose to the rank of Chief Security Officer! So, you snatch my glory right before my eyes, and then have the audacity to return and play the noble gentleman? ### Step 13 - **Reward**: You're such a naive man. The value of a soldier is determined by their victories! ### Step 14 - **Objective**: Continue listening to their conversation. - **Summary**: Wolfgang Valks! Finally revealing your true colors! The title of Chief Security Officer not enough for you, eh? What... did you just say? Acting all concerned and kind in front of us, and then you'll try take all the credit! ### Step 15 - **Reward**: Hold on! It's too dangerous for regular infantrymen! It must be approached with caution! And aided by the adventurer and myself! ### Step 16 - **Objective**: We don't have time for this. - **Summary**: Who do you think you are? You're just an outsider! Ha, I don't even need to talk to a merc like you. One of my scouts already reported that you were contacting a suspicious individual. I've assembled an advance party consisting of skilled soldiers and knights to advance on Quint Hill. Hehe. ### Step 17 - **Reward**: Hogwash! Last time, you spat on the commander's orders and stole all the glory for yourself. Now you're playing the saint? ### Step 18 - **Objective**: Captain Valks thought it's proper to report to you first. - **Summary**: Huh? Why would you say that, Captain Valks? Your mercenary here seems more than capable. Don't tell me you don't know how to get to Quint Hill? Ha! To think the Chief of Capital Security doesn't know the lay of the land! Of course not. Captain, as you're the person in charge, I deemed it necessary to report any anomalies to you first. ### Step 19 - **Reward**: I thought you would've managed to track him down already. It's not far. ### Step 20 - **Reward**: The Adventurer will come out alive if what people say is true. If it's all well-crafted deception, well, the rocks will take care of them. ### Step 21 - **Objective**: Let's just focus on our tasks. - **Summary**: I can tolerate much, but disrespect toward you? That's a line I won't allow to be crossed... *sighs* I'll hold my tongue for now. ### Step 22 - **Reward**: *Sighs* ### Step 23 - **Objective**: Understood. - **Summary**: Understood? Understood what, Adventurer? Why are you suddenly acting so meek? Captain! This person is a special envoy of the Chief Councilor and Future Duchess of Serendia! Show some respect! Yes, yes. Pardon my manners. Of course. As the Chief of Capital Security commands. Captain Andre! Captain Andre Vidal, sir!! ### Step 24 - **Reward**: The soldiers can't breathe with all the dust being kicked up. We'll talk more when you've taken care of that. ### Step 25 - **Objective**: Give us a brief on the situation, Captain Vidal. - **Summary**: You're... a mercenary. This is ridiculous. A knight doesn't report to a mercenary! This is an absolute load of shit. I cannot believe... Listen up! I'll only say this once. Normally, Trolls only attack people when they're hungry. We have no idea why they're suddenly acting like this. Are we done here? Oh. If you want to make yourselves useful, deal with the ones firing the catapults over there. ### Step 26 - **Reward**: It's not what you think. We're here to lend a hand, sir. ### Step 27 - **Objective**: Here, an official letter from the Chief Councilor. - **Summary**: *Sighs* To the officer in charge of the Anti-Troll Fortification... Ensure Captain Valks and his mercenary receive your full cooperation... *sigh* Well, I can't disobey the Chief Councilor. What do you need, Captain? ### Step 28 - **Reward**: No, sir, I did not! I wouldn't dare to do that! ### Step 29 - **Reward**: How could one person break through all those Troll hordes alone?! ### Step 30 - **Dialogue**: Trolls are smarter than they look. They're not easy enemies by any means. ### Step 31 - **Objective**: I brought some Jerky. - **Summary**: Oh, already? You're one of the fastest people I've ever seen. ### Step 32 - **Objective**: I brought the Messenger. - **Summary**: What took so long? Looks like someone needs more thorough training. ### Step 33 - **Objective**: I brought Bailey. - **Summary**: Finally. Just the person I've been waiting for. ### Step 34 - **Objective**: Discover Anti-Troll Fortification - **Summary**: Discover Anti-Troll Fortification ### Step 35 - **Reward**: If you join me, we can take care of these Trolls all at once. ### Step 36 - **Reward**: I saw you from a distance and you have some skills. It's been a while since an adventurer caught my eye. ### Step 37 - **Objective**: Troll Defense Contributor - **Summary**: How did it feel to deal with the Trolls firsthand? They're not so easy to deal with, eh? ### Step 38 - **Objective**: Troll Defense Contributor - **Summary**: How did it feel to deal with the Trolls firsthand? They're not so easy to deal with, eh? ### Step 39 - **Objective**: Could you tell me about Black Mane? - **Summary**: Ah, you must be the one who took down the Troll Boss Quint. With your skills, you should be stationed at the Anti-Troll Fortification. Black Mane is a troll who rules over his kind as an elder. They call each other elders and bosses—it's almost comical, really, haha. But all jokes aside, we learned this after losing many of the Republic's finest knights. What makes Black Mane truly terrifying isn't just his raw power but his sharp intellect as well. ### Step 40 - **Objective**: Interesting. Can you give me a rough idea of where Black Mane is? - **Summary**: Are you willing to take on this task? Hmm... It feels like I'm burdening you with my responsibilities, and that weighs on me. But knowing that someone like you, who defeated Quint, is on the job does put my mind at ease. Still, be cautious, Adventurer. Black Mane is incredibly cunning. Ah, I almost forgot! I have something that might aid you in your mission. It's a tactic to lure out Black Mane. He likes calm and quiet, so loud noises are his bane. I have an alarm scroll that should do the trick. This scroll was designed to jolt everyone to attention during times of war. ### Step 41 - **Reward**: Black Mane can be found deep within the Troll Faction, hidden somewhere in a field at Quint Hill. ### Step 42 - **Reward**: Here, take this alert scroll with you. What? The song sounds like scraping metal? ### Step 43 - **Objective**: Receive a broken phonograph from Andre Vidal. - **Summary**: I tried giving it a whirl to test it out, but it sounded like the kinda music they'd play in hell. ### Step 44 - **Reward**: Here, take this alert scroll with you. What? The song sounds like scraping metal? ### Step 45 - **Objective**: Receive a broken phonograph from Andre Vidal. - **Summary**: I tried giving it a whirl to test it out, but it sounded like the kinda music they'd play in hell.
