FFVI – Part 43: It’s a Secret to Everybody

Summary: We explore the mage town of Mysi… ahem, Thamasa. We meet Gal… ahem, Strago, and his adorable granddaughter Kri… AHEM SORRY AHEM, Relm. They’re awesome. Relm plays with Shadow’s fierce puppy. A housefire threatens Relm. 


Overworld

-Strange looking monsters.


Beasts of the eastern wilds.

-Isle seems empty mostly except for the town. Onto Thamasa.

Thamasa

-Now they’re interested in us. No more “hmph.” Still a bit cagey, but not much.

-An old man knows about beasts apparently.

-The innkeeper is still a jerk who charges me 1,500gil.

-The mayor now welcomes me, and protests randomly that he’s never heard of magic. Doth protest too much, if you ask me.

-Hey, the Mohawk Walrus Guy may be the beast guy

-AND HE’S PLAYABLE TOO???



-Strago. Awesome portrait.

-He mentions espers. Then pretends he never heard of them. WTF. Why is everyone being super weird?

-Strago has a granddaughter. Like a Galuf-Krile thing?

-WTFWTF SHE’S PLAYABLE ALSO HOW MANY CHARACTERS WILL I GET?



-AND SHE HAS AWESOME THEME MUSIC

-Relm. She’s a painter. I’ll be she’s the one who made the paintings in Owzer’s mansion.

-THEY’RE ALL MAGES


Strago doesn’t look too happy about Relm letting this slip.

-Are they half-espers like Terra?

-RELM WANTS TO PLAY WITH SHADOW’S PUPPY



-I DON’T EVEN CARE ABOUT THE CAPSLOCK THIS IS REALLY CUTE

-Shadow tells her to back off, since the dog bites. He is an attack dog, after all.

-LOLOLOL - Strago sends Relm to her room, and the pup follows her. LOHJFKLDSHFJKLDS THIS IS ADORABLE

-Pup’s name is Interceptor. I guess “Takedown” is just the name of his attack.

-We spy a boy casting Fire. Yup. Definitely a mage town.

-Strago used to be an amazing hunter apparently.

-Ok. The innkeeper is now charging us 1gil. “Why not relax for a spell?” I see what you did there.

-Will we wake up as toads? This smells like some Dark Knight Cecil in Mysidia bullshit about to happen.

Night

-Strago busts into the inn.

-Relm was on fire? Or something? And set a house on fire?

-Wtf Shadow. We all run off to help save Relm, but Shadow wants to sleep in. Seriously, wtf. I get that you killed your emotions or whatever, but still.

-LOL – Interceptor runs off to save Relm. Shadow has to follow.

-We arrive at the house, which is majorly on fire.

-Strago uses ice magic to try to quell the fire.

-The Mayor busts in, saying that magic is forbidden. Interesting. Not just secret, but forbidden. Unless he means that it’s forbidden to do it in front of us.

-Strago’s magic isn’t powerful enough on its own. The Mayor relents, and everyone nearby joins in wit their magic. It’s no use.

-We’re going in to save Relm.



-Strago’s coming with, despite Locke’s and Terra’s concern.

Next time: We run into the fire. Hopefully, the streets of heaven will not be too crowded with angels afterwards.
