[X] Become a squire
-[X] "As a squire what are my duties?"
"As a squire what are my duties?" I asked Shamir in the dining hall while she drinks a coffee. She puts down the coffee and smirks at me, she stands up from her seat.
"Let us see for ourselves." Shamir says.
...
"Where are we?" I asked as we look over the field.
"This is the field outside Garreg Mach. This is where the first mach battle for the students happen and where the knights and squires train away from Garreg Mach." She informs me. "In fact, there is Alois and his squire." She pointed forwards to the distance where a big burly man is shouting at a younger man with purple hair who is taking notes.
"I don't know how he does it..." She sighs, "Come on, let us find out what a squire does." She says as she walks forward towards him dragging me along.
"But sir Alois, what if the bandit holds the woman hostage?" The younger man asks.
"Well Elias first you gotta talk the bandit down, maybe even offer money if you have to bandits love coin, then when the time is right... Strike them down!" Alois answered him.
Shamir coughed into her closer fist causing Alois to jump and turn to us two. While Elias calmly turned to us.
"Ah Shamir!" Alois shouted. "Why must you continue sneaking up on me!?"
"I wasn't sneaking." Shamir said flatly.
"Yes you were." Alois said while Elias sighed. "Oh yes! I guess we should introduce ourselves to the new girl."
"My name Alois and this is my squire/apprentice Elias, cousin of Duke Varley's heir." Alois introduced.
"It is good to meet you, I heard much about you Gillian." Elias puts out his hand to shake, which I do.
"What do you know?" I ask.
"Oh, I just been here since before you were found." He says quickly.
"Anyway, we were here to ask you what a squire does." Shamir says.
"Oh! I can do this." Elias began. "Well a squire is supposed to clean a knight's belongings and learn from the Knights, or a single knight if one takes you as a apprentice, they also take on missions with the knight. Eventually, if you're good enough, become a knight yourself." Elias answers.
"Ha! Not even a true squire yet knows what they do." Alois laughs. "Shows how good a teacher I am. Huh Shamir?"
"Yes... So he isn't a true squire yet?" Shamir asked.
"Why yes. He has yet to pass squire training but-!" Alois stops as Shamir grabs his ear.
"You do recall squires can not be trained by active knights before training as to not give them a unfair advantage?" Shamir asked.
"Ah yes!" Alois yelped then Shamir let him go. "I just forget since my training was very different then it is today." Alois said as he rubbed his ear. Shamir sighed at that.
"Well, do you have any more questions?" Elias asked. "Or is that it?"
[] We're done
[] Ask more questions
-[] Ask questions. (Max of 4)
"I think that is everything." I said. Elias nodded at that.
Suddenly, a soldier came running towards us. "Rhea requests both Shamir and Alois to come and meet her in the 2nd floor."
Alois and Shamir looked at each other and nodded, they both told us to follow.
...
"Thank you both for coming." Rhea said now in her religious archbishop attire, which is put over her common outfit. She now wears a massive headdress and wears a angelic robe over her button shirt. Admittedly if I haven't seen her with the common outfit before this I might have thought she always wore this.
"Why have we been called Lady Rhea?" Alois asked.
"Bandits besieged a town near here to the north, we have been asked by a merchant from there to get rid of them." Rhea informs. "You and Shamir have been specifically asked."
"Hmm." Shamir hummed her chin over her finger.
"Is something the matter Shamir?" Rhea asked Shamir.
"Asked specifically? I don't know something's off. If they were being besieged wouldn't they settle with anyone? Why did they asked for the strongest knights of Seiros?" Shamir wondered.
"Maybe they just wanted to make sure this would go smoothly and just asked for the strongest. You know those merchant folks and their demands." ALois said. Shamir still looked to not be convinced but dropped the issue.
Rhea turned to Elias and me, "Perhaps you should join them?" Rhea suggested. "They might need the help."
"I shall take you up on the offer Lady Rhea." Elias answered. "This will be a fine opportunity to test my meddle."
Suddenly, a man entered into the room running. "Hey! I heard you are about to go on a mission! Can I join?"
Shamir turned to the man. "Connor!? Where you spying?"
"If that is fine with Alois and Shamir." Rhea said at the same time.
"Of co-" "Why certainly!" Alois interrupted Shamir while Connor is celebrating.
"I guess that leaves me huh?" I asked. "If everyone is, I will as too."
Rhea nodded at me smiling. "If you wish child."
...
We arrive at the town, Earthborne Shamir says. It is truly ransacked with bandits running around the place. The homes are closed and boarded up, but even that doesn't stop the bandits from busting down the doors and stealing everything they can find. The sheer cruelty of it boils something within you that you didn't even know you had: hatred.
"We will save the rest of the village. You two deal with this small area, make sure not to over work yourself. You still have the rest of your lives to live." Alois orders while Shamir nods at that. Shamir whispers in Connor's ear, you are sure you hear your own name. They then leave to handle the rest of the town.
Connor walks up to you to talk but is stopped by a scream. "AHHH!"
"What was that!?" Connor asked as he then looks around. "Look!" He points toward the town.
The scream came from a small boy and girl hiding behind a woman they are being harassed by a bandit. I cold just hear them.
"Stop screaming brat! Get out of my way maiden. After i'm done with the child your next!" The bandit threatens.
"No." She says simply.
"No!? I think you misheard me wench! Move over!" He screams.
"I think you misheard me bandit." She said as she began a wind spell, "I said no!" The wind spell slashes through the bandit and kills him instantly. THe children run towards a house and hid inside.
The bandits turned toward the girl and began screaming and rushing toward her.
"Welp! Let's go help the young maiden." Connor says as he rushes forward dragging me along.

A/N: Both Connor and Elias' stats have been posted in the Army section. If you need any help just ask.
So Gillian and Elias are off the map then? If one is at the bottom right and the others are further right...
if the intent is bottom left (similar to Band of Mercenaries where our map comes from) then I believe the relatively-standard strategy is to swarm anybody on our side of the wall, talk to the maiden to secure her (and/or her assistance), use the forest for cover (and rain down pain from behind our front screening person), and then maintain a covered advance to secure the rest of the town.

Quickly I rushed to the maiden's side. "Hello madam. Me and my friends will be helping you." I said.
"Huh? Why hello. That will be must appreciative little girl." She tells you. "Now where are you from?"
"Well I don't know where but I am currently living at Garreg Mach." I said.
"Ah I was heading that way. The goddess seemed to have given me a sign... My name's Dorothy, what's yours?" Dorothy asked.
"The name is Gillian. Or so I am told." I answered.
"Well Gillilan I shall help you. Point me to a direction and I will cut them with magic." Dorothy says. I look back to Connor and Elias...
Connor is rushing towards the myrmidon near the trees but he is yet to reach him. Elias on the other hand is preparing to fire at the archer behind the wall...
Elias
Mt: 13
Hit: 100%
Crit: 0%
Archer
Mt: 9
Hit: 89%
Crit: 0%
Elias hits and deals 13 damage! Archer is at 7 HP!
Archer fires and hits dealing 9 damage! Elias is now at 17 HP!
Elias has gained 25 EXP!
Elias fires and you can hear a scream from the other side. A arrow flies back and hits Elias in the shoulder, he silently curses as he pulls out the arrow.
