The Missing Gold Arc 2: The Great Loot
-[X]Of Sand, Shade and Sorrow: Scar wishes to stop by an abandoned Temple… something about paying respect to those who died. Rolled:
1D100 => 12+30=42
June 6th, 1901, The Desert of Ishval.
You wandered for two days before Scar stopped you.
The Temple was empty and Scar looked down at the broken ruins… it was quiet. To quiet.
The bodies of those who lived there were long gone, having been picked clean by the desert, or buried in the small gravesite that was marked with only three words.
"Peace and Death"
You wandered inside
Scar looked back to the broken altar and felt a pain on his face, before he looked at you. "Leave this place Alfred. I need to be alone."
You paused. "Can I-"
"No Alfred. It is something I must do alone." He stated.
And you respected his wishes.
Failure.
-[X]School of the Lion: You trained for a few years as a martial artist… of an Ishvallan School… You think there might be a Teacher around here to help. Now, with Scar to Help, you have a great teacher. Rolled:
1D100 => 56+50=106
June 12th, Ishval Desert.
Scar handed over a headband. "You are a martial artist, yes?" he asked.
You nodded. "Yeah. Not a very good one."
Scar nodded. "Put it on, I want you to show me."
You nodded and put it on, before you dodged a jab. "Slow! I want to see your skills!"
"Not even a preparation bow!" You shouted back.
"You didn't get a chance to prepare yourself when you were captured, show me now!"
It continued like that for a few hours, before you stopped, panting and defeated.
"Dammit!" You swore.
"Your form is sloppy, and for all the training you had, it's incomplete. Whoever taught you mastered the basics only." He stated.
"My father taught me." You replied with a small gaze.
Scar gave a nod. "He didn't teach you enough."
Reward: Gain Trait: School of the Lion (Trained): You are a trainee of the School of the Lion, but you have a long way to go before you can be called master. (+10 to combat rolls.)
-[X]Ishvallan Alchemists?: Ishvallan religious doctrine frowns upon Alchemists… but there has to be a few running around. Scar's Brother even is one of them, and he's near… you think. Rolled:
1D100 => 16+30=46
Scar's brother was helping at another hospital the next town over.
You'll see him soon.
Failure: Scar's Brother action will succeed automatically next turn if chosen.
-[X]The Bells of the Rocky Church: There is a hospital in one of the churches and there is a doctor there… with his wife. Rockbell. Rolled:
1D100 => 95+30=125
The Hospital was happy, and that was a sight that filled you with a feeling of joy. There were not many people in critical condition, but there was an air of whimsy… of hope.
And it radiated from the two doctors who were doing their best to keep it running.
But what people saw was you, the hero of Ishval. And they bowed to you.
"Yuri, what are they?" the woman asked.
"Alfred Ailtree." The man stated as he took off his hat. "I didn't know you were here."
"Sorry for coming in unannounced." You stated. "I just wanted to conduct an interview with the humanitarian workers here."
"Oh… Uh… Of course." He stated.
------------------------------------------------------------
Interview with
Yuriy and Sarah Rockbell: Aid workers of Ishval
A.A: Why do you continue to stay in Ishval, I can see some letters from your families, and a photo of a little girl?
YR.: Our Daughter.
A.A: Oh, sorry.
SR: It's fine. It's just… There are so many people that need our help, and they don't trust the military after what happened in the city. And with Amestris all but ignoring their plights, it's up to those who care about our fellow man.
YR: And it's not like we are far away, we're from Resembol, so it's just a few days' train ride away.
A.A: I don't know what else to really say, unfortunately.
SR: Then say this "Evil triumphs when good people do nothing." We're all capable of doing so much good together, we just have to try.
-------------------------------------------------------
Reward: You interviewed the Rockbells. They are good people, doing the right thing.
??? Becomes avalible
-[X]Energy Manipulation: Your father left you notes… you will learn how to become like him.. And Alchemist who controlled energy. Rolled:
1D100 => 100+50=150
"Do you know how much energy the Human body is capable of generating?" You asked the pineapple man.
Energy crackled in your hand. "Not enough to conduct lightning… but the sun, and the solar radiation that it gives, even though the Ozone layer of our planets atmosphere?"
Quite a bit as it turns out.
(Continued in: Praise the Sun)
-[X]An Envious Meeting: The man came into sight with a grin. "So you are trying to find the gold?" The question was sarcastic. "I thought you would be trying to find more war crimes?" Rolled:
1D100 => 96+30=126
Envy growled. "Well as much as your display of power may intimidate anyone else" His entire body went from charred to normal in just a few seconds. "I'm actually here to help you."
(Continued in: Praise The Sun)
AN: Enjoy.
