Finale: The Rise and Fall of Romulus Augustus

Briefing

Marcus is tending to his wounds now, though he insists on holding the idol to protect anyone else from it.

Marathon is doing his best to create a vessel suitable for the open seas, but we have more problems, Character.

We have reports from our scouts that the Talons of Vengeance have been building up an army with the mortal enemy of Cimerora, Romulus Augustus. They gather in Vespillo Pass now, waiting to destroy all of Cimerora. Romulus has finally gone mad, perhaps from the dark energies that now control him.

Cimerora is weakened now, Character. We have no army to send against these monsters. We only have one option, which is for those of us that remain to fight against the army. Myself, Imperious, Daedalus, Sister Airlia, and another strange man from the future, are ready to go on your word.

  • Let's go.
  • No, you all stay behind, guard the town. I will handle the army alone.
What? Character, are you certain? Just yourself against an army?
The mission will be incredibly difficult to run alone by most characters. If you choose to do so, good luck!
  • I am sure, I will go it alone.
  • On second thought, come with me. We will fight them together.

Unnecessary Solicitation

This could very well be the final battle for Cimerora, Character.

Icon clue generic.png
One against an army
You told Sister Solaris to stay in Cimerora, claiming that you would be able to take on the army of Romulus Augustus and the Talons of Vengeance by yourself.

Mission Objective(s)

Map: IOM_VESPILLO_PASS

You can hear the sounds of the Talons gathering up ahead. If they destroy Cimerora, the idol of Mot will fall into their hands, dooming the future.
Then again, the future is still safe, so all you have to do is figure out how you already destroyed an entire army.

  • 4 groups of monsters to defeat
    • 3 Talons Elders to defeat
    • 9 groups of Talons to defeat
    • Defeat Romulus Augustus and his cohorts, once and for all

You stopped Romulus Augustus and the Talons of Vengeance from destroying Cimerora!

File:Mission DA Arc Complete.png The Timeless Adventurer

You travelled back to Cimerora and saved their civilization from certain destruction by the Talons of Vengeance, though you wonder if you only prolonged the inevitable, given that Cimerora is a lost civilization.

Completing the mission without accepting any help awards the Knows No Fear badge.

Knows No Fear

You chose to fight against Romulus and his army of Talons by yourself, showing that you know no fear.

Debriefing

Character, I cannot express how thankful I am for all of your help. We have captured Romulus Augustus once and for all, though it appears he is impossible to kill. However, Sister Airlia claims that she has a ritual that may be able to destroy him once and for all.

Marathon and Daedalus are finishing construction on the vessel that will sail to the Abyss. Once they are finished, Marcus Valerius will take a crew of the finest soldiers and set sail. He continues to hold onto that idol, however, insisting that he protect it from anyone else. We will be safe with the idol, for now. The Talons of Vengeance do not have the forces necessary to attack Cimerora anymore.

We will never forget what you have done here today. You have saved our civilization from certain destruction, and for that, you have our eternal gratitude. Take this Cimeroran medallion. Think of it as a reminder to yourself of all the help you've given us against the monsters that tried to destroy our civilization.

You'll need to return to Dark Astoria and work together with the Dream Doctor to finish the fight with Mot, once and for all.
