Pre-Battle
Frederick
Milord, look! Risen!
Chrom
Ugh, and there's a village just ahead. Come on!
Villager
Help! Heeelp! Open the gates! The dead walk the earth! If you've any kindness in you, open the gates! We're from Woodham, up the road! You KNOW us! Please, open the— Gods, no. ...No! They're here! Aaaiiieeeeee!
Frederick
Hmm... The townsfolk of this village are renowned for their hospitality. How could they turn away refugees fearing for their lives?
Chrom
Let's worry about saving those lives first. We can ask questions later.
Start Battle
Visit the village
Elder
Shepherds are always welcome here. Please, take this with you.
If Chrom visits
Elder
Shepherds are always welcome here. Please, take this with you.
Chrom
Listen. There were refugees here and you turned them away. Why?
Elder
We're a peaceful town, sir. We have no weapons, nor any want for them. We survive by barring our gates to those who might bring us harm—friend or foe. Harsh as it may be, I can't have my people dying on account of other folks' problems...
Chrom
......
Chrom talks to a villager
Chrom
Are you all right?!
Villager
Oh, thank goodness you've come! Are you here to help us?
Chrom
We'll hold them off! Run!
Villager
U-understood! If we make it out alive, I'll repay you! I swear!

Post-Battle
If any villagers survived
Villager
I've not the words to thank you, nor the treasure to pay you, but...here. Take this. I didn't think people like you still existed. I'll...I'll never forget this.
Frederick
Do you suppose the village will continue to bar its gates to refugees?
Chrom
As long as they view the Risen as someone else's problem, then yes.
Frederick
They claim to love peace... Yet the uneasy peace found behind a barricade is nothing I'd want. Peace begins when the fighting is over and the barricades come down. I pray they can see the truth of that before it's too late...
If no villagers survived
Chrom
...I failed them. I let them die.
Frederick
No, milord. You gave all that you had. That is no failure. And we can still give them peace. They deserve a proper burial.
Chrom
They deserved to LIVE, Frederick! ...Ah, damn it all.
