Pre-Battle

Merchant
Well, look who it is! You finally made it to the Outrealm to end all Outrealms! Congratulations, and welcome...to Castle Apotheosis! They say destiny guides the universe's most powerful of heroes here. Why? So that they can finally face foes worthy of their formidable skills! Countless heroes from countless Outrealms await to challenge you here. If that does not frighten... Wait. Oops! I lost my place... Let me start over. *ahem* Countless heroes from countless Outrealms await to challenge you here. Do you consider yourself worthy? I should warn you... The foes you will face possess might beyond that of any human. If that does not frighten you...then enter. Enter, and learn the meaning of fear!


Start Battle

Merchant
Are you ready? You look ready. Shall we start the fight? Very well, I... Uh... Hmm, what came next...? Lemme just check my notes... Ah! Okay, here we go. *ahem* Ladies and gentlemen... Welcome! Welcome...to the Feast of the Formidable! Our challengers have traveled far, but is their end near? Or will they survive all five battles and secure their place among the gods? Will this castle crown new kings, or will its stones be coated red with their blood? Let the first battle...begin!


After each round

After Round 1 (completed within 2 turns)

Merchant
Wow... You're finished already?! You trashed those guys in no time flat! Well, it's official: you've got what it takes. So it says here I'm authorized to give you a REAL challenge—against special enemies! ...If you're up for it, that is. But first things first: Do you want to record this victory and return to your own world right now? Or do you want to take your chances and keep fighting? It's up to you.


"Would you like to quit now?"
>Yes
Merchant
Well then, let's call it here. Congrats on not being utterly destroyed! Drop by anytime you want to attempt a challenging fight.


>No
Merchant
All right, sounds like you're in it for the long haul! Here's the deal: Castle Apotheosis's five normal battles are already packed with tough enemies... But for some warriors, "tough" just isn't enough. They want a special challenge. They want to go head-to-head with truly demonic adversaries. Real meanies! That's what the five "secret battles" are for. The enemies there are enough to make even the gods soil their pants. Trust me! So! You want to try your hand at the secret battles or stick with the normal battles?


"Attempt the secret battles?"
>Yes
Merchant
All right. Let's get you back into the fight. Your new opponents are masters of combat. They're like no one you've faced. Go ahead and prepare while we wait for them to arrive.
Right, then—go ahead and take a minute to prepare before the next battle.

>No
Merchant
Right, then! Let's start the next battle. Two teams are ready to face you, and you get to pick. One is an army of war monks, and the other consists of pegasus knights. Which would you rather take on?


"Face the pegasus knight instead of the monks?"
>Yes/No
Merchant
Right, then—go ahead and take a minute to prepare for the next battle.


After Round 1 (completed in 3 or more turns)

Merchant
Good work. That's one victory—perhaps you're worthy of these castle trials after all! If you want, you can quit here. You can record your victory if you return to your own world right now. Or would you rather take your chances and stay in the fight? It's up to you.


"Would you like to quit now?"
>Yes
Merchant
Well then, let's call it here. Congrats on not being utterly destroyed! Drop by anytime you want to attempt a challenging fight.


>No
Merchant
Right, then! Let's start the next battle. Two teams are ready to face you, and you get to pick. One is an army of war monks, and the other consists of pegasus knights. Which would you rather take on?

Post-Battle

Normal Route

Merchant
That was incredible... You just wiped the castle floors with every foe you faced. And you know what that means! ...Hang on. Where are my notes? Ah, okay! *ahem* Behold, the victors of the Feast—the mightiest of the mighty! Let's have a thunderous round of applause for our new kings and champions! And here. This is a little gift from me. I hope you can use it. It's an Einherjar card: "Katarina, the Misguided Tactician."


Recruit Katarina? >Yes
Katarina
Y-you need another tactician?


Merchant
Oh, and before I forget... I'll let you in on a little secret I noticed in my script here... There are some extra lines if you defeat the first round of foes super quickly. Some stuff about special, supertough enemies and such. It sounds amazing! Just something to shoot for next time you drop by for a visit. So until then!


Secret Route

Merchant
I can't believe someone actually managed to survive that gauntlet. You'd have to be more than just strong, or clever, or even lucky... Only true mastery of both tactics and combat would suffice! You stand now at the pinnacle of all your efforts. How does it feel to be the best? Let all the warriors at the Feast bow their heads before their true masters! Here before you stand champions: true gods and goddesses of combat! ...Here. It isn't much, but you should have this. It's a token of my regard for the greatest warriors any world has known.


>"You got a Supreme Emblem."


Merchant
Oh, and you probably know this, but...choosing different opponents for the five battles can really vary the experience. Just something to think about if you should happen to visit here again. So long!
