After defeating the bandits, you and your party continue westward. With night approaching, you decide to stop at a ruined fortress for the night. 

On the other hand, the Ganelon Bandits are in a rage after their brethren fell to you guys. 

(Y/N): I know it's not enough, but please rest up. 

Wil: It will be quite alright. This should suffice as tonight's bed. 

Sain: This old fortress? Is this the best we can do? Surely you jest! 

(Y/N): The bandits keep everything in turmoil around here. No one has time to worry about travelers. Plus, there is a lot of us. 

Lyn: It will be fine. Who wants to be stuck inside anyway? I prefer to be in a place where I can feel the wind blowing. 

Florina: As long as I'm at both (Y/N) and Lyn's side, I'll be fine. 

Sain: And don't forget your man-at-arms Sain! 

(Y/N): Sain, you are to keep watch with Kent. 

Sain: Ah, alas- 

???: I beg your pardon. 

A voice came from nearby, and out came a woman, with a badly moving leg. 

(Y/N): What seems to be the problem?

Natalie: Forgive my intrusion, my name is Natalie. I'm from a village not far from here ... AH! Ow! 

Lyn: Are you alright? Your leg is- 

Natalie: It's fine. Don't worry. It comes from a childhood sickness. I can't travel far on it. But it doesn't trouble me much. 

Lyn: What are you doing here all by yourself? 

Natalie: I'm looking for my husband... I heard he was in this area. He said he was going to raise money to have my leg mended. He left the village and hasn't returned. He's a kindhearted man, but I think he might be involved in something dangerous. I got so worried...Here's a sketch of him. It's a poor likeness at best, but...His name is Dorcas. Do you know of him?

(Y/N): Sorry, I've never met him. 

Natalie: I see ... well if you do meet him, please give him a message. Tell him that Natalie is looking for him. 

(Y/N) and Lyn: Got it. 

Suddenly a bunch of arguments are coming from outside. 

???: Here they are! We've finally tracked down the band who killed Migal! 

Ratfaced Bandit: So they've decided to hole up in this ruined fortress? Perfect! We'll wait until it gets dark, and then- 

???: YOU IDIOT! There are only a few of them, and some of them are women! If we attack at night, I'd be a laughing stock! Besides, we could end up getting the women hut by mistake!
