*NO BODY IS CONNECTED.
*THEREFORE, YOU WILL BE ASSIGNED ONE.
*RISE, VARIK

Beware the man who speaks in hands.

Sleepwalking (01)

*When things or people are forgotten, they do not merely fade away.
*INANIS acts like a net below reality, trapping the obscure like a spider’s web.
*In eternal sleep.
*When a Fountain is activated, the forgotten with ties to the space around it are revived and placed in a new world, powered by the void.
*On the edge of dream and reality.
*A twilight of better days.

Dusk and Dawn (06)

*You wake up on a bed of rhododendrons.
*A lonely, spine-like ridge in a black void.
*It’s impossible to climb back up, the only choice is forward.
*Welcome to your special hell.

Edge of Inanis (04)

*A hooded figure appears.
“Welcome to Inanis”
“The land of the forgotten”
*The figure suddenly lurches forward.
“You’re a human? You might be our ticket out of here!”
“I’m Marigold!”

_____________

As you can probably guess, Marigold effectively is a Ralsei replacement, our first party member and a Darkner.

Marigold (05)

*Hey Varik, can you go look in the storage shed behind the chapel? 
*She always said it was the best hiding place for trinkets she didn’t want Mom to find.
*I remember Dad overheard her talking about it, and while I thought he would get angry, he merely laughed. 
*….
*I just want something that reminds me of her.
*Because I don’t remember her face.

Find Her (02)

*Marigold casts LUMEN.
*The full breadth of the cave comes into view.
“Come on, I know the way through. There’s a town on the other side.”

First major area theme.

Crimson Caverns (08)

*A warm calmness comes over you.
*You’re filled with PERSEVERANCE.

Save Room (09)

*A thunderous roar echoes down the hallway.
*Marigold screams in a combination of fear and very unfortunate recognition.

RUN (10a)

*The beast clicks its teeth and sniffs the air, trying to locate you.
*You held your breath.
*It leaves.

Tantrael is a tall, lizard-like tulpa that stalks the party throughout Chapter 1. A thought-entity brought to life by sorrow.

HIDE (10b)

Pause (11)

*IT SEEMS YOU HAVE FALLEN DOWN.
*CONTINUE?
*YES                     *NO

Perseverance (13)

*It’s a storage shed.
*Open?
*….
*You try to flip the light switch.
*Nothing happens.

Foggy Hometown (03)

*MEDDLE: 5 ATK 8 DEF
*Beams with a facade of pride.
“I’m first place for a reason!”


__________________

The first boss of Act 1, Meddle appears to be an old trophy kept inside the storage shed brought to life. Give it validation through ACTing to subdue it.

Song is heavily based off of Valor by Toby Fox.

Stolen Valor (12)

*A ragged stuffed animal appears.
“What can I do for ya?”




——————
Shop theme for Chapter One.

Torchlight (14)

*Multiple foes appeared!
“The ACT button allows us to find peaceful ways to take down threats and cast spells!”
“When we are ready to end the battle, use the SPARE button!”
“The ITEM button lets us use certain items that can heal us or do other useful things!”
“The DEFEND button reduces damage for the next turn and gives us TP!”
*You ask Marigold what TP is.
“Oh yeah I forgot! TP stands for Tension Points, and it’s that bar right there! It allows us to perform certain ACTs!”
“The FIGHT button is a last resort when enemies cannot be defeated by peaceful means. Use it wisely.”

Used in the tutorial fight with Marigold and also acts as the generic battle theme for chapter 1.
