GRANDSHELT ISLES - ASSAULT OF THE GOBLINS - DALNAKYA CAVERN OPENING
(Rain and Lasswell approach Dalnakya Cavern. They are alarmed to see a person laying by the side of the road.)
Rain: Hey! Are you all right!? Can you stand!?
Villager: Ungggh... My friends... My family... The goblins took them all.
Lasswell: Goblins raiding a human village? Preposterous! It would seem the consequences of the crystals are even more grevious than we feared...
Rain (...): Don't worry about your friends. We'll take it from here.
Lasswell: Rain..! Our kingdom itself is in peril. If we don't hurry back to the castle...
Rain: I know. I know where our duty lies, Lasswell. But don't we also have a duty to these people? Should we just leave them to their fate?
Lasswell(...): But...Rain! We are knights of Grandshelt. We have a duty to the greater good!
Rain: Is it chivalry to turn a blind eye to those suffering before your eyes? Does a knight of Grandshelt not live to serve the weak? You know this is so, Lasswell!
Lasswell (...): You have the right of it...this time. We will rescue the villagers from the goblins' den.
Rain (🎵): That's the Lasswell I know! A knight of honor if ever there was one!
Lasswell: I'm not doing this for your praise. If we're decided, let's get moving.
(They go into the cave.)

GRANDSHELT ISLES - ASSAULT OF THE GOBLINS - DALNAKYA CAVERN 1
Lasswell: Rain, you really are a softy, aren't you?
Rain: Who's a bigger softy: the softy, or the softy who follows him?
Lasswell: P-preposterous! Do not liken me to yourself!
Rain: The villagers should be up ahead. Let's focus, shall we?
(The first wave of battle commences. Afterward...)
Lasswell: More goblins!
Rain: And in a goblin den of all places! What did you expect to find?
Lasswell: I expected to find goblins... And a bit less if your cheek, if you don't mind.
Rain: We're only halfway through, so brace yourself for more of both.
(Second wave of battle commences. Afterward...)
Lasswell: These goblins are definitely fiercer than the garden variety. But why would the crystal's destruction make monsters run wild?
Rain: Another homework assignment for you when we get to the castle, eh?
Lasswell: An assignment for us. And don't try to get out of it.
(They progress to the third wave but don't fight yet.)
Rain: Goblin is a cute-sounding word, isn't it? When you say it over and over.
Lasswell: What nonsense are you talking now?
Rain: Goblin, goblin! You see what I mean? It's got a happy sort of tone.
Lasswell: ....I'm not participating in this conversation.
(Third wave of battle commences. Afterwards, it progresses to the fourth wave.)
Rain: Not like Lasswell. That has a mean, hissing sort of sound, doesn't it? Lassssssswell. Lllassssswelll.
Lasswell: What!?
Rain: Why don't we give you a nickname? Lass...Lassie...Welly...Welbow! No, just Welly. Good old Welly.
Lasswell: I will not answer to...Welly.
(Fourth wave of battle starts. After, it progresses to fifth wave, which commences without dialogue. After fifth wave is vanquished...)
Rain: Who, Welly? Oh yes, I know Welly! I know Welly well. I know Welly...Welly well indeed.
Lasswell: I'll only warn you once. Stop this immediately. Or else you too shall bear a nickname... my sweet little Rainikins.
Rain: Nooo! I'll stop, I'll stop! Urgh...my whole skin crawled away.
(Battle advances to 6th wave.)
Rain: Is it just me or is there more of them than before?
Lasswell: It's not just you. And they're getting stronger. We must be nearing the inner caves.
Rain: I hope the villagers are okay...
(Sixth wave commences. Afterwards, it advances to the boss battle, which commences without dialogue. After the battle ends...)
Rain: All right! That should be the last of them!
Lasswell: ...And the villagers are safe as well. We should really be moving along. We've lost precious time, Rain. I would advise you not to be such a softy next time...if I thought you would listen.
Rain: See, Lasswell? You know me better than any one!

GRANDSHELT ISLES - ASSAULT OF THE GOBLINS - DALNAKYA CAVERN ENDING
(Rain & Lasswell lead the villagers out of the cave.)
Villager: I'm free! Oh, thank the crystals! However can I repay you?
Rain: No need for that. We're just glad we could help.
Lasswell: I trust you can find your way home on your own. Duty calls us to the castle.
Villager(!): O-of course! There is.... just one small thing.
Villager: Not long ago, there was an eruption of light from Siren's Tower. I don't know what it was, but... I have a bad feeling, you know? You don't reckon the seal has been broken?

Rain: (...)
Lasswell: You cannot be serious... we cannot afford another diversion!
Rain: But what if this is also because of the shattered crystal? And more importantly (♥) Siren's beauty is literally legendary! How can we pass up a chance to meet her in the flesh?
Lasswell (grumble): ...I suppose we do have a duty to investigate.... The seal, that is.
Rain (🎵): Oh, come off it, Lasswell! Don't be ashamed to admit you want to check her out, too.
Lasswell (irritated): I'll check you out with a fist to the head if you don't stop this at once!
