Chapter | [1] [2: Drifting Swordsman]

Don’t worry, that’s just collateral damage..
Genis stops us on the way home and we take a detour to the Human Ranch. Things don’t go as planned and end up killing a few guards. No biggie, let’s just jump down 5m cliffs and head back home. Next day is when the big day begins!

 
Note to Self: Don’t Sleep in, Ever
Waking up late, Colette and Kratos has already left so we head back to Iselia.. but of course, killing some guards will cause bad things to happen. We fight the first boss, a sea cucumber and the boss is pretty simple; Genis casts Fire Ball and Lloyd uses Tiger Blade + Tempest. Simple! Now everyone is mad at you and you are exiled from Iselia D:

 
“That wanted poster looks just like you!”
Travelling to the Desert Oasis, Triet, we were scammed by the fortune teller and get captured on the way out.. talk about a bad day! While escaping the base, we regroup and meet a mysterious Blue Haired person with a cape split in two. After some great dialogue, we fight another new person named Botta. Another boss that isn't too bad, though getting hit by Stalagmite without guardian (or equivalent) can be rather nasty. Lloyd with the classic Sword Rain + Tiger Blade combo, Kratos with infinite combo glitch, and Genis with Spark Wave does the trick. After we win, he randomly throws his broken sword to the ground and flees.

Well, that escape went well, so off to our first (second technically) seal: The Triet Runes!

 

Recap:
Being exiled from Iselia for killing guards at the nearby human ranch, we head off to unlock the seals. But we get captured and need to take a minor detour.
