[G1c] Mountain Bandits vs. Mercenaries (Part One)

If arrive Lake before ordered to in Chapter 3 [G3]:

Show up at Lake Castle (Budehuc Castle). Cecile (a little girl in plaid skirt and armor) runs foreward and screams "Halt!" She wants to know who you are. Ace says they're no one special. Cecile claims the group is evil. Ace says quite the opposite. Thomas (a little boy in brown), Piccolo (an elderly dark-skinned man), and Martha (an elderly dark-skinned woman) hurry up and ask what's going on? Cecile says Geddoe's group are mountain bandits. The scene goes black then Thomas offers an appology. Geddoe's group is awfully angry. Ace insults Joker, as seems to be his normal reaction to things. Thomas asks if they want to open a business. Geddoe asks what they mean. Thomas explains it's a free-trade zone and leases are available. Ace claims that's strange, mentioning the Zexen Council usually doesn't allow anyone control over commerce. Martha explains that Lake Castle is common land, showing a document to prove it. Ace and Joker study it intently as the talk continues. Martha asks if they want to open a business. Geddoe explains they are mercenaries. Thomas becomes down-hearted. Cecile comforts them. Martha offers to sell lottery tickets to Ace. Ace refuses. Queen offers good luck to Thomas. Ace says he'll spread the word. Thomas thanks them and says they are free to roam the lands. Jacques is not with you at the time.

When you decide to leave Lake Castle: Aila claims that she likes Lake Castle. Queen mentions that the castle is having a tough time. Joker thinks the Council won't let the free-trade business go. Ace mentions Geddoe's name was the same as one of the document mediators and asks if he's related. Geddoe says "Beats me." Joker suddenly asks where Jacques is. Queen says she wonders. The scene shifts to a dilapidated ship and Jacques enjoying the sea and beauty. Thomas' flame opens on the Trinity Site. Once you're back on the world map, Jacques has rejoined your group.
