## Overview

### Stamina

Heroes will burn stamina as they complete activities on the island. Each hero will start at 20 stamina, and can recover 20 stamina per day.

The amount of stamina is fixed per slot, meaning that you can freely switch a hero into a different slot in order for them to gain the stamina of that slot. For example, a Nemora in a slot with 12 stamina can be swapped with a Belinda in a slot with 20 stamina. At the end of the swap, Nemora will have 20 stamina while Belinda will have 12.

This is an effective manner of getting more use out of specific heroes.

 Fishing
 Ship Repairs
 Removing Vines
 Battling Enemies

## Transcript

*[Opening Animatic]*

Our tale begins with an expedition. Heroes from all corners of the world banded together to explore a land risen from the abyss...

Unbeknownst to our adventurers, the seeds of failure had already been sown. One amongst them was a greater threat than any could've known...

A malice widened an already deepening rift between the heroes. With their ship destroyed, a lost island was their only hope. But the real test has just begun.

*[Start of Event]*

**Solise:** ... What is this place? What happened?

**Gorvo:** We were shipwrecked. This remote island is our new home for now.

**Lucius:** There's ship debris on the beach, we'd best investigate.

**Belinda:** The hull is ruined, there's no way we could piece this together and get back out to sea.

**Gorvo:** I can.

**Belinda:** ...Only by repairing the ship's hull can we guarantee everyone's safety.

*[Approach Camp]*

**Lucius:** I used some of the decking from the wreckage to build a simple camp. This is where everyone will stay, it'll be easier to assign tasks to everyone this way.

*[Begin farming]*

**Lucius:** It'll take some time to repair the ship. The anomaly at sea doesn't appear to be subsiding. If we want to survive, we'd better cultivate our own food.

**Solise:** There are all sorts of plants on the island, I'm sure we can find some fruits.

*[Collect first floating bottle]*

**Vurk:** That looks like small bottles floating in the ocean, they seem to contain supplies.

**Belinda:** A drifting bottle. People would put messages in these and cast them out to sea. I've conveniently just picked up a pen and paper from the wreckage, perhaps we can use our own drifting bottle to send word for help?

**Vurk:** It's likely that the bottles will just wash back up on this shore again.

*[Collect distant chest]*

**Solise:** Look! A chest, floating in the sea!

**Gorvo:** It must have been on of the chests in the ship's cabin. Let's open it and see what's inside.

**Solise:** There seems to be more chests out at sea.

**Gorvo:** I can swim over and investigate, they probably have much-needed supplies inside.

*[Begin fishing]*

**Vurk:** I can't live on leaves! I need some meat, too!

**Antandra:** Perhaps we can try our hand at fishing, that'll give us strength!

*[Encounter vines]*

**Vurk:** What's with all the vines on this stupid island?! Setting traps is such a pain!

**Antandra:** We need to clear these vines to explore more of the island.

*[Challenge Mind-Caged Seirus]*

**Seirus:** What's the matter Gorvo, are you so surprised?

**Gorvo:** My dear friend, why are you on this island? Was it you who sunk the ship?

**Belinda:** Gorvo has been ambushed! Quickly, help!

*[Enter volcanic area]*

**Arthur:** This is the cause of all our problems. The mysterious sea anomaly and the in-fighting among ourselves. This is where it ends.

*[Challenge Mind-Caged Belinda]*

**Lucius:** Huh... Why are there two... Belindas?

**Arthur:** We can be certain of one thing, our enemy has the power to impersonate people. He used the method to trick and deceive us, with the hopes of us turning on each other.

**Belinda One:** Lucius, follow the Light's guidance.

**Belinda Two:** My dear Lucius, do you have the heart to harm me?

*[Challenge Mind-Caged Solise]*

**Solise:** So, what do you think of that huh? How's my skill?

**Vurk:** Solise dared put poison in the food? Does she have a death wish?

**Belinda:** Don't do anything rash. The enemy has the power to shapeshift, it's trying to turn us against on another.

**Vurk:** How do I know you're not the shapeshifter?

*[Challenge Mind-Cager Mehira]*

**Arthur:** Gotcha!

**Mehira:** I let you. I was getting bored of you all anyway. Oh how easily you are all provoked, how eager you are to indulge yourselves. Pathetic. Although you still hadn't fully given into your vices, you made me more powerful than I could have imagined.

**Antandra:** Face me, coward!
