Bare Fantasy Tactics: Mission 1: Goblins on the Giza Plains.


	“Finally we're back home kupo!” Montblac cried as he and the rest of his clan had finally stepped into Cyril. Laurence the clan's white mage was following right behind him.
“Wow we're finally back in Cyril. It's been two months since we've been back here.”
“Yep.” Montblac replied. “ The road back here after coming from Bervenia was long and treacherous but it was definitely worth to end up back here kupo!”
“Easy for you to say. You're not the ones carrying anything.” Drystan the hunter of the group came up from behind him carrying boxes full of treasure. “ That reminds me. Hey Samson! You alright back there?”
“Y-yeah....I'm fine...Holding up just fine over here...” The Fighter Samson was dragging behind Drystan carrying a cart of various things with him as his toes literally dug into the dirt road. “Ugh. Hey Montblac, We're selling most of this stuff when we get to town right?”
“Yep Kupo. Sorry about that Drystan and Samson.”
“ It's alright. I've had to deal with heavier stuff then this.” Samson said with a huge grin on his face.
“Hey we can't sell all that stuff.” Drystan said. “ I have some stuff that I want to keep in there and I'm pretty sure Laurence has a staff he wants to keep in there right Laurence.”
“Um...yeah Drystan. I do I'll pick up before you go and sell it.”
“Alright kupo!” Montblac said. “ Let's stop just standing here and you actually go into the town kupo!” Montblac turned around and went into the town with the rest of his teammates. 

	After they sold almost all of their things in various shops in the town, they finally made their way to Montblac's home. Montblac quickly opened the door.
“ Hello, Ursula? You there kupo?” Montblac said through the house. 
“ She might not be back yet Mister Montblac.” Laurence said. “Should we wait for her?” Laurence was then shoved aside by Samson and Drystan who barged into the house.
“Finally!” Samson shouted. “I can rest my tired old feet!”
“We've been walking for days!” Drystan moaned. “ It feels great to finally be able to sit down and just relax.” The two then sat down at the table in the kitchen and put their dirty soles up on the table. Samson wiggle his toes as he moaned happily. 
“Oooohhhh. This feels good.” Samson moaned.
“Yeah....” Drystan said leaning back on his chair. “This is pure bliss right now.” 
“Drystan! Samson! You shouldn't put your feet on the mister Montblac's table!” Laurence shouted as he entered the house. Montblac just shook his head as he felt someone's arm wrap around his body.
“ I'm so glad you're home kupo. I've been worried about all of you ever since you went to Bervenia kupo.”
“ Ursula!” Montblac shouted turning around to hug his fiance.
“URSULA!” Samson and Drystan both shouted as they fell from their chairs. Laurence giggled a bit as Ursula and Montblac were done embracing each other.
“So. How was your trip to Bervenia kupo?” Ursula asked Montblac. “ Did you meet up with Hurdy there?”
“Surprisingly I didn't see him there kupo. With all the different clans there that the queen called upon to protect the capital, I'm surprised he wasn't there. But we did end up seeing Nono and Culley a few times kupo.” 

“Hmm. That's a shame honey.” Ursula said. “ The main reason you even went there was to see if Hurdy would be there. It's too bad he wasn't there kupo....”
“ Oh yeah that reminds me. Samson,Drystan,Laurence!”
“Yeah Montblac?” Samson said as he and Drystan were recovering from their fall.
“ I need to go to the mayor to talk about something that came up. While we were at the shop one of his workers came up to me and told me.”
“And what does that have to do with us?” Drystan asked. 
“Well kupo. Since I thought you guys would be bored just sitting around here with Ursula, I thought you guys might want to go to the Prancing Chocobo and see if there were any interesting missions you would want to do kupo.” Of course everyone understood what he actually meant, to leave Ursula alone and get out of the house. 
“ Honey are you sure you want them to do another mission right after you got back kupo?” Ursula said.
“ It's alright Ursula.” Drystan said. “ We can just pick an easy mission and get it down super quick.”
“ And besides Mrs. Ursula, you deserve some rest after a day of teaching.” Laurence added.
“Aww. You guys are so thoughtful.” Ursula said. “Well I wish you luck in whatever mission you'll do kupo.”
“Yeah Yeah. Thanks a bunch Ursula.” Samson said. “ Anyway let's get to the Prancing Chocobo and check to see what they have.” Samson, Drystan, and Laurence left to go to the Prancing Chocobo while Montblac talked with Ursula a bit more.

	Samson,Drystan, and Laurence were walking to the Prancing Chocobo when Samson suddenly spoke up.
“Man I hope one day I have the chance to play with Ursula's feet one day.” Samson said.
“Samson! Why would you say anything like that?” Laurence snapped. “ Mrs. Ursula is gonna be Mr. Montblac's wife soon!”
“ Actually I want to play with Montblac's feet too one day. Thanks for reminding me Laurence.”
“Of course you want to play with their feet Samson.” Drystan said. “ All you think about are people's feet.”
“Hehehe. I guess so Drystan.” Samson replied. “ Hey Drystan you think that after we get done with the mission Ursula will be asleep? Maybe then I could play with her feet.” 
“Perhaps.” Drystan said. “ Of course you would have to worry about Montblac coming back and murdering you if he caught you.”
“ Yeah I guess. But still it wouldn't hurt too try.”
“ Sometimes I really can't stand you two....” Laurence sighed.

	The three young men finally got to the Prancing Chocobo where they saw multiple clan members talking about various rumors and other things. They went to the Pub Owner Alcest who was cleaning some cups. He looked up and saw the three boys and went up to them.
“Ah well if isn't the boys from Clan Nutsy. What brings you here today?”
“Well Montblac had to talk to the mayor and he kicked us out of the house so here we are.” Samson said.
“So do you have any missions for us?” Drystan asked.
“Hmmm. Well I've gotten this one from a Herb Collector who wants someone to get rid of some Goblins that are terrorizing the Giza Plains disallowing him from getting some Muscmaloi. Would you guys like to do that for him.” 
“Sure. Whatever we can do to waste some time.” Samson muttered.
“ Alrighty then.” Alcest replied. “ Sounds like you boys found yourself a mission. Make sure you come back in one piece alright.”
“Oh of course. Thank you for your concern Mr.Alcest.” Laurence said.
“ Ah. It's nice of you to show some compassion Laurence. But it seems like the other two are leaving you.” Laurence quickly looked behind him and saw Samson and Drystan leaving the pub.
“Huh? Hey Drystan,Samson wait for me!!!” Laurence quickly ran to catch up to the other two.

	The three finally made it to Giza Plains after a short walk. It wasn't too far from Cyril and many residents came to the area in order to retrieve Muscmaloi a herb that reduces fever. Though sometimes monsters would wander into the Plains and claim as their own. And it was up to Clans to clear the monsters out. Samson, Drystan, and Laurence were hiding behind a bush looking at the monsters they had to face.
“Really just two Goblins and a Red Cap?” Samson muttered. “Ugh....I was hoping it would be something that was worth our time....”
“Well....let's just get this over with....” Drystan said as he pulled out his arrows. “Samson you ready to back me up.”
“Yeah Yeah I'm ready. Laurence if we somehow get hurt be ready to heal us got it.”
“R-rr-Right!” Laurence said gripping onto his staff.
“Alright then. I'm taking the first shot.” Drystan shot an arrow out that hit one of the Goblin's straight into it's heart killing it instantly as it's body began to convulse it's toes scrunching into place. The other Goblin and Red Cap then quickly went to the bush the arrow was shot out of.
“Samson!” Drystan yelled.
“I'm on it!” Samson jumped out from the bush. “Hey idiots!” The Red Cap and Goblin quickly looked up. “Ha made you look!!!” And with that a powerful gust of wind formed from Samson's hands which he sent out at the Red Cap and Goblin. The Wind hit them instantly causing them to be flung backwards and the two monsters fell into unconscious.
“Sigh...That was easy...” Laurence said. “ I guess we can go back now.” 
“Actually.” Samson said picking up one of the recumbent feet of the dead Goblin. “ I never noticed how good these Goblin's feet look. Like they are so grimy and dirty.”
“Wait don't tell me you're going to lick that dead thing-” Laurence gasped.
“Oh hell no! I wouldn't do that for any amount of money. I was just going to lick the feet of one of the one's still alive. We need to kill them anyway to get down with the mission so why not waste a little bit more time licking their feet before offing them.”
“How about no.” Laurence said.
“I'm game.” Drystan said. “ I call the Red Cap!” Drystan ran to the Red Cap and picked up it's limp foot. He quickly began to suck one of its toes.
“I'll be taking the live Goblin then.” Samson said. “ It's feet seems more dirty then the Red Cap's anyway.”  Samson then began to suck on the Goblin's toes. Samson then quickly stopped sucking it's toes. “ Man....this one's feet tastes super good. How's the Red Cap Drystan?” He saw Drystan quicjly got done licking the soles of the Red Cap's feet.
“It was okay I guess....I'm not really one for the furry feet. Don't know how you can like it. I feel like I gotta a lot of hair in my mouth.”
“Ha. It's an acquired taste. You'll get use to it the more you do it.” Samson slowly licked up and down the Goblin's grimy soles.  “Ahhh. I am loving this.”
“ Sigh. You both make me sick sometimes.” Laurence sighed.
“Oh cmon Laurence! Let me have my fun!” Samson retorted. “I kinda deserve this considering we just did this stupid mission. I'll only be like 5 more minutes I swear!” Samson continued to lick the Goblin's feet, while Laurence sighed and Drystan laughed.
“Well that's our Samson!” Drystan said laughing his butt off.

	Samson, Drystan, and Laurence were finally going back to Montblac's house after they got reported the mission back to the pub.
“Ah. That was refreshing!” Samson said. “ Those feet tasted really good. Too bad we had to kill them to finish the mission.”
“Ugh. You disgust me sometimes Samson.” Laurence said pouting. “ What would Montblac think if he saw you do that?”
“That's exactly why I did it! It's rare when you get to lick a monster's feet like that and too be honest I haven't done it in a while so it was pretty refreshing. How was it for you Drystan?”
“I need to get used to furry feet.” Drystan quietly stated. 
“I mean I can help you with that. We just need to find a bunch of Red Caps and then we can have all the fun we want with it.”
“Yeah. Sounds great. Can't wait for that.” Drystan said sarcastically. “ But anyway maybe we should get off this topic we're already here.” Drystan opened the door to the house and saw Montblac and Ursula having a serious conversation. Montblac turned to the three when they entered the kitchen. 
“Oh you three are finally back kupo?” Montblac said.
“Um yes Mister Montblac. Is there something the matter?” Laurence asked.
“Well...it's kinda complicated. Hold up I'll explain it to you kupo....”



	In a beautiful garden with an extravagant palace a woman in a black dress was tending to the flowers. Her barefeet dug into the soil while she planted the seeds of the new flowers that would soon bloom.
“You truly love this garden do you mother.” A Prince in red garb came up to the woman who was tending the garden.
“Why yes I do Llednar. Whenever I have a problem or I feel stressed I can just come here and all my problems seem to fly away.”
“Hmm. Are you sure all those problems are gone mother? Sure the monsters they have been plaguing Bervenia for the last 2 months are nowhere to be seen, but we still haven't found the ones behind it and there is still the problem of the corrupt clans that sometimes attack the capital.”  Llednar's mother stood up after tending to her flowers and put her hand on Llednar's shoulder.
“My son. Don't worry about that right now. Babus and Shara are searching for the culprits as we speak. And the Corrupt Clans are easily dealt with with other Clans anyway. For now there is nothing to worry about expect the Totema.”
“ Ah yes. The Totema.” Llednar said. “ The crystals that seal them have been weakening and we have no idea what's doing it.”
“Yes and one of them is already ready to reawaken and wreck havoc once again.”
“What!?! Mother which one?”
“ I've talked about it with the Judgemasters who traveled to check on the seals and I was told while the other 4 are holding up well, Famfrit's seal is incredibly weak. It is seems in about 2 weeks the crystal sealing Famfrit at Ulei River will be broken and he will be unleashed. If left unchecked Famfrit could deal unspeakable damage to Cyril and the neighboring towns. And to make matters worse some clans actually know of the seal being broken and they're hoping to control the Totema for themselves.”
“Control it?” Llednar questioned. “ Could they even do that? Control one of them?”
“While I doubt the claim, the thought of someone controlling one of those things scares me. If someone even had control of one Totema they would have an almost unparalleled War weapon in their hands. And if multiple Totema were to be obtained and controlled, imagine how much chaos would ravage Ivalice. It would be worse then the war 17 years ago and that was only one man controlling one of the Totema. And it would take even longer to heal the country then that war did.” Llednar nodded. While he was too young to remember as the war started when he was 2 and ended when he was 4, he knew of the horrible oppression and destruction his father had caused with the Totema of the Humes Mateus. It took too long and nearly cost his mother's life to seal the raging God in a new shrine inside the castle moving it from it's original shrine at Delia Dunes.
“But the Totema's mother, aren't they gods. I mean how can any of us imagine to defeat one. I mean the only reason you were able to seal Mateus in the crystal here was because of how weakened it was from its constant use.”
“ Well Llednar. When a Totema first breaks out of its crystal it takes some time for the Totema to regain all it's strength from the Shrine. So we're going to have a local clan I can trust there defeat it when it's first released and seal it back into it's crystal.”
“Ah so you're going to have a local clan do it huh? Let me guess Clan Nutsy huh?”
“ Yes. That clan is known for their power and being able to easily defeat powerful monsters. I think they are more than up for the task.”
“Well mother. I hope they can do well enough. Especially knowing that there could be a clan out there who will try to take Famfrit's power. I just hope Clan Nutsy can take down everything in their path.”
“Yes I do. Now if you excuse me I think I'll continuing with my gardening.” The woman continued to tend to her garden.
“Of course. I'll leave you to your leisure.” Llednar said bowing to his mother and leaving his mother to her own devices. “I just hope that Clan Nutsy can actually defeat the Totema.”
