Stadium of the Sacred Flame: Chuwen Fair, NatlanQuest Description: The Pilgrimage of the Return of the Sacred Flame, the most important competition in Natlan, is about to begin. Meet up with Kachina and the gang before things start.Paimon: So full... *yawn* and so sleepy... We should get a good night's sleep before the competition tomorrow!Paimon: Paimon's still a little worried about Kachina, though. Maybe we can help her out with her training?Paimon: She did say she wanted to learn from us... Not that Paimon's gonna be doing much of the teaching...Quest Objective: Look for Kachina and Mualani (Optional)Paimon: Kachina!Kachina: Oh, it's you two! I just finished training with Mualani. What's up?Paimon: Well, you worked so hard to introduce us to Natlan, we wanted to return the favor!Traveler: Thought I could share some experience with you.Traveler: I want to help you do the best you can.Mualani: Wow, you guys are exactly like Kachina described. No wonder she's already your biggest fan.Mualani: Guess I should make myself scarce, though. Kachina was the one who helped you out all day, so I don't want to intrude on your secret teachings.Traveler: It's just a simple piece of advice, actually.Traveler: A battle is more than just a contest of strength.Kachina: Huh? What do you mean?Traveler: Observation is also key.Kachina: Observation...Traveler: Study your opponent. Master their habits.Traveler: Let wisdom become another weapon in your arsenal.Paimon: Yeah! The person who hits the hardest isn't always the one who wins!Kachina: Oh, I... I think I get it...Kachina: You're saying... fight smarter not harder. Having the strength to win is just as important as knowing the right strategy.Mualani: Attagirl, Kachina. Exploit your opponent's weaknesses while maximizing your own strengths, and you're sure to find opportunities to turn the tides in your favor!Kachina: You're right. I just need to focus. When I get nervous, I forget to assess the situation, and end up rushing in without a plan...Kachina: Mind sticking around a little longer, Mualani? I want to try out some new moves!Mualani: Sure!Kachina: Thanks for taking the time to teach me, you two. I won't let you down!Paimon: Just give it your best shot!Optional Dialogue: Talk to Kachina and Mualani againKachina: I'm not keeping you up, am I? You sure you'll be fine tomorrow?Mualani: Oh, I'm bursting with energy. Couldn't sleep if I wanted to!Optional Dialogue: Talk to Becan at the Weary InnReach BecanBecan: Pleasure to meet you.Talk to Becan and LabnaBecan: Looks like we'll be commentating together this time around. Pleasure to meet you.Labna: The pleasure's all mine. Just remember to be liberal with the sunscreen tomorrow — the sunlight is intense up in the hot-air balloon.Optional Dialogue: Talk to Tonina at the Weary InnReach ToninaTonina: Who do you think's the favorite?Talk to Tonina and LamanaiTonina: I wonder who's gonna win this time. Who do you think's the favorite?Lamanai: That's a tough one. Anything can happen, especially in the team stage.Lamanai: Sometimes, the favorites are forced to face each other early on. Factoring in the environment and different participant strategies... It's impossible to predict who will come out on top.Tonina: True, true. *sigh* You think I'd have a chance in the Pilgrimage one day? I've been training every day after work.Lamanai: It's certainly possible. I'll be rooting for you if you ever get the chance!Optional Dialogue: Talk to ItznaReach ItznaItzna: So nervous...Talk to ItznaItzna: Hmm...Itzna: No surprises, here...Itzna: No matter how many times I participate, I'm always so nervous...Optional Dialogue: Talk to Mersa and SausaMersa: Five people are going to be selected for the Night Warden Wars this time around, but to be honest... The number makes no difference.Mersa: Chasca's going to win. I'm sure of it!Sausa: Seems a little early to celebrate, don't you think?Optional Dialogue: Talk to LiliuoReach LiliuoLiliou: How are the preparations going?Talk to Liliuo and KaiulaniLiliuo: Hey, Kaiulani. How are the preparations going?Kaiulani: Not bad, I guess.Liliuo: You don't look too confident.Liliuo: Chin up! We're experienced warriors! We've got this in the bag!Kaiulani: You're as energetic as ever, but I feel like I'm getting old. The last time I fought in the Night Warden Wars was how many years ago, now? Ten? It's already been so long...Liliuo: Ten years is nothing! We're in our prime! I don't know about you, but I'm going for gold!Optional Dialogue: Talk to SayilReach SayilSayil: Let's go for a drink!Talk to Sayil, Tiaco and CempoaSayil: You two look nervous! Let's go for a drink and kick back for a bit, shall we?Tiaco: What, now?Sayil: Now's the perfect time! Knock back a few drinks, and you'll loosen right up. Otherwise, your nerves will keep you up all night. Trust me — I'm an experienced competitor.Cempoa: And, that's why you're team captain! Great idea!Quest Objective: Wait till 08:00 – 10:00 the next dayQuest Objective: Meet up with Kachina and the othersKachina: Morning, Traveler! Morning, Paimon!Mualani: Looks like everyone's here right on time, hehe. Good to see that no one overslept!Ajaw: Says the one who only made it because I was there to get you!Kachina: Ajaw, not so loud. You're gonna give me a headache...Mualani: Well, if you don't do well today, we know who to blame, now don't we?Ajaw: See how your friends talk to me, Kinich? I help you wake them up, make sure everyone's on time, and do I get a "thank you, Ajaw"? No! I get told off!Kinich: Mualani's right, though.Ajaw: ...*sigh* Hopeless, every last one of you.Paimon: Alright, moving on... How did you sleep last night, Kachina?Kachina: I had some nerves at first, but my bed was great — I fell asleep the minute my head hit the pillow.Paimon: That's good to hear! Maybe you handle stress better than you know!Kinich: The competition's about to start. Did everyone eat something?Kachina: A little. Didn't wanna overdo it.Paimon: Oh no, we were so busy focusing on the tournament, we forgot to buy something!Mualani: I thought that might happen. Here, I brought you some.Traveler: Thanks.Mualani: No thanks necessary! I'll treat you to something even better once—Tonina: Attention, everyone. The tournament is about to begin. All contestants proceed to the venue. I repeat, all contestants proceed to the venue.Mualani: Well, I'd say more, but that's our cue.Mualani: The opening ceremony is what kicks everything off... You should be able to see Kachina and me from the stands. We're counting on you to cheer us on!Paimon: Don't you worry! Paimon's gonna cheer so loud, you'll hear it across the stadium!Kachina: Thanks, you two. I'll be sure to keep an ear out.Mualani: Well, we should get going. See you later!Paimon: Okay, bye-bye!Lamanai: Attention, everyone. The tournament is about to begin. All spectators, please take your seats. I repeat, all spectators, please take your seats.Paimon: Oh, that's our cue!Paimon: Wow, we've definitely never witnessed a competition of this scale before! Let's go in once you're ready.Quest Objective: Talk to LamanaiLamanai: Entering the Stadium of the Sacred Flame? You won't be able to leave the arena once the tournament begins.Traveler: (Enter the stands)Traveler: (There's something I need to do first...)Quest Objective: Go to the competition venueQuest Objective: Watch the opening ceremonyBalam: The Pilgrimage of the Return of the Sacred Flame is a competition with a long, storied history. Countless hopefuls have gathered here today, each vying for the same prize — the right to serve their homeland in the Night Warden Wars.Balam: Before we begin, allow me to remind everyone of the rules. Today's tournament begins with the team stage, before advancing into individual competition.Balam: Each team will board a hot-air balloon, which will land at a random location.Balam: Contestants must search for Fire Towers within the contest grounds, accumulate Contending Fire through combat, and bring a sufficient amount back to the Stadium.Balam: Defeat in combat, departure from the contest grounds, and running out of time all lead to elimination! Only the strongest teams will be able to withstand the onslaught of battle and return to the arena, blazing Fire in hand.Balam: Only those who emerge triumphant in the team stage earn the right to take part in the individual battles. The outcome of these one-on-one matches not only affects the contestants' individual scores but also determines their next opponent.Balam: After many rounds of battle, the contestants with the top five rankings will get the chance to take part in the Night Warden Wars!Balam: Now, let us welcome our Archon as she delivers the opening address!A massive ball of flame ignites on the platform above, and Mavuika makes her grand entrance into the arena...Mavuika: Skill, strategy, fortune, form... Many factors influence strength, but victory never lies.Mavuika: The Pilgrimage is not merely a trial to determine the strongest among us, but also a stage upon which to showcase your individual growth.Mavuika: Today marks the beginning of yet another legendary saga — one written in the triumphs of the victors! So, without further ado... Let the games begin!Paimon: So, that's the Pyro Archon!? Is it just Paimon, or does she seem kinda intimidating...?Paimon: Kachina said she was "friendly and welcoming, " but, uh... how did she come to that conclusion?Traveler: She does seem pretty imposing.Paimon: Didn't Kachina say she was just an ordinary person before becoming the Archon? Sure doesn't seem like it...Paimon: She doesn't seem ordinary at all... Ooh, look, it's Kachina and the others!Traveler: I want to talk to her.Paimon: Yeah, but it would be kinda rude to bother her during the Pilgrimage, don't you think?Paimon: We should wait for a better time... Ooh, look! It's Kachina and the others!Balam: Well, folks, it's clear the contestants are already raring to go! The teams will now board their hot-air balloons and make their way to the competition grounds.Crowd: Chasca! Chasca!Zacatula: Go, Chasca! You can do it!Teayo: Kick their butts, Itzna!Sausa: Go, Mualani! Go!Paimon: You can do it, Kachina!Balam: And the crowd goes wiiild! The hot-air balloons are about to ascend — contestants, prepare yourselves to take flight!Balam: Remember the rules! The balloons will take you to random locations, and your battle starts the moment you land. Best your competition, collect Sacred Fire, and bring it back to the Stadium.Balam: Good luck, everyone!Quest Objective: Start the team stageQuest Description: The Pilgrimage has officially begun. Who shall win the right to fight in the Night Warden War this time?Kachina: Guess this is where we're starting.Mualani: Let me see... Seems pretty quiet around here. Looks like we get to ease ourselves into combat today.Mualani: Let's head that way. We don't need to worry about avoiding other teams. Anyone that crosses our path can kiss their chances goodbye!Kachina: Okay. I'll follow your lead.Mualani: Just remember — don't hesitate. The team matches are all about keeping the energy up, so let's do it!Quest Objective: Collect Contending Sparks (0/3)Becan: And with that, the Pilgrimage is now underway. Time for the contestants to give it their all!Reach the first Fire TowerMualani: Oh, a Fire Tower! And an unoccupied one, from the looks of it.Mualani: Be on the lookout for an ambush... Careful, we've got company!Engage in a combat against Zeila's teamZeila: Kachina? Haha, looks like we've got ourselves an easy start.Adama: Perfect timing! We've got to fight to generate Contending Fire in the first place, so let's go — winner takes all, losers get lost!Defeat Zeila's teamKachina: W—We won!Mualani: We're just getting started. Grab the Fire, and let's head to the next spot!Obtain Becan: Currently in the lead we have Chasca, one of the contestants from the Flower-Feather Clan, really leaving her competitors in the dust!Quest Objective: Collect Contending Sparks (1/3)Becan: Amuru has taken out six contestants in a row! What a legendary competitor! But, can his hot-streak continue?Engage in a combat against Amuru and the monstersAmuru: Oh? Well, aren't you two an interesting duo.Kachina: How did these monsters make it onto the grounds...Amuru: It's part of the tournament. If you can't handle a few monsters, how are you supposed to repel the Abyss.Amuru: Look, why don't we handle these monsters first. Then, we can battle it out between ourselves.Defeat the monstersAmuru: Huh, your skills aren't half-bad... But, I think I've got a good grasp of what you can do.Amuru: Sorry, but not everyone can make it until the end. Your run ends here.Defeat AmuruMualani: Nicely done, Kachina!Kachina: W—We actually beat a legend...Mualani: C'mon, don't just stand there. Let's grab the Fire and go!Obtain Becan: We have a new team pulling ahead!

Two favorites for the win, Itzna and Nkunga, have run into each other! Looks like it's gonna be an early goodbye for one of these formidable competitors!Reach the mountainMualani: This mountain is huge. Is the next Tower really all the way up there?Mualani: It's going to take forever to make it to the top...Kachina: Just leave it to me! I'll get us up there!Reach the top of the mountainMualani: Phew, we made it! Great work, Kachina!Kachina: Hehe, glad I could help.Reach the empty Fire TowerMualani: An empty Fire Tower...

Was that a quick knockout, or what?Xpuhil: Should keep a better lookout next time I sign up...Optional Dialogue: Talk to Scions of the Canopy ContestantScions of the Canopy Contestant: Ugh, that attack came out of nowhere... Should've paid more attention to my surroundings...Reach the next areaKwila: Kachina, is that you!? I'm sorry about this, but since we ran into each other, I can't just let you pass.Kwila: If you want glory, you'll have to go through me!The additional dialogue appears if the player engages in combat against Kwila.Defeat KwilaLabna: Every minute that passes, fewer and fewer contestants remain in play! The remaining competitors need to hurry if they want to make it out of this stage!Reach the next Fire TowerTepexpan: Hold it right there! That Fire is mine!Tamuin: Pfft, in your dreams. I think someone needs a reality check, and I'm more than happy to oblige.Kachina: They're going at it! What's our play, Mualani?Mualani: Isn't it obvious? To send them all packing, of course!Engage in a combat against Tepexpan and TamuinTepexpan: Hah, I'd like to see you try. Hey, let's work together!Tamuin: Good idea. No way I'm letting them pull the rug out from under us! Let's go!Defeat Tepexpan and TamuinObtain Quest Objective: Return to the Stadium of the Sacred FlameMualani: We've collected enough Sacred Fire! Still doing alright, Kachina?Kachina: *panting*... Yep, all good. C'mon, let's head back to the Stadium...Becan: Time's almost up! Contestants who have yet to collect enough Sacred Fire will need to really push if they want to advance!The additional dialogue appears if the player approach the last Fire Tower.Mazatan: Someone's here! Let's get 'em, fellas!Ecate: *panting* Captain, I... I can't keep going...Defeat the enemiesMazatan: *sigh*...

There's no Fire Tower around here, so there's no need for us to fight it out.Kibangu: We can see who comes out on top the next time we run into each other. But, for now, I say we focus on preserving our strength. What do you think?Reach the SpiritwayKachina: Phew...Mualani: Uh oh, we're running out of time.Mualani: Wait, there's a Spiritway over there.

It's all smooth sailing from here!Kachina: Thanks, Mualani.Mualani: Hey, what are you thanking me for? We won as a team! There's no way I could've taken on that many people without you.Mualani: Have a little faith in yourself! You're already a great warrior!Mualani: Hahaha, those were some steep curves. Not scared, are you?Kachina: I'm fine. I don't scare easily, not after that last ride you took me on!Mualani: Oh, yeah! Back when we first met, right? I accidentally knocked over your piece of cake, then offered to take you Spiritway-surfing to make up for it.Mualani: Actually, I was feeling pretty down that day. My training didn't go well, and... Anyway, you really cheered me up.Kachina: Mualani, I... I really want to win this time. I want to win this Pilgrimage and become a true warrior!Mualani: Now, that's what I like to hear!

I repeat, as quickly as possible!Quest Objective: Complete the team stageTonina: Congratulations, Mualani! Congratulations, Kachina! You've successfully cleared the team stage!Mersa: Amazing! Congratulations!Taenga: Congratulations!Sausa: Keep it up, Mualani!Zacatula: Kachina! Mualani!Paimon: Kachina! Mualani!Traveler: Kachina! Mualani!Lamanai: You two can take a short break while the team stage comes to a close. We'll draw names to determine the individual match-ups in a moment.Lamanai: After that, we'll proceed to the next stage of the competition. I wish you both the best.Tonina: You two are assigned to different lounge areas. If you'll follow me, please, Kachina.Kachina enters the break room...Kachina: Solo battles next, and I was 3 wins short last time. I've got to do better.Kachina: Phew... Just calm down, Kachina. You're in good form. You can do this...You hear the sound of a fight outside...Tonina: Hold it right there. This is the contestants' lounge. Unauthorized access is prohibited.Tepexpan: We're contestants, too! Let us through!Tonina: According to my list, you're not among the individual match contenders, nor are you related to any of the remaining candidates.Tepexpan: Well, we'd still be candidates if it was just based on strength! We only lost because two other contestants snuck up on us like cowards! If you could just go contact the referee, we'll wait right here for you to—Tamuin: Ah...Kachina: Wait, you two are...Tepexpan: Well, look who we have here. Remember us? Your little trick got us disqualified!Tamuin: Since we've crossed paths again, let's settle this once and for all. We'll see who truly deserves to advance to the next stage... Fight us.Kachina: Right now?Tonina: Don't mind him, Kachina. Tournament rules place you under no obligation to honor that request — a loss is a loss, and that's final.Tonina gestures to a staff member in the distance...Tonina: You! Don't just stand there! Get security over here, now!Tepexpan: Forget the rules! Isn't the Pilgrimage about picking the strongest warriors? She just happened to catch us off-guard. It was all luck!Tamuin: Exactly. Now's our chance to duke it out fair and square—Paimon: Kachina!Traveler: ...Traveler: I'm happy to oblige...You step in front of Kachina...Tepexpan: Who are you?Kachina: Traveler! Paimon! What are you doing here?Paimon: We just came to have a chat, and then all of a sudden, these guys were threatening you!Paimon: Hmph. You're not bullying Kachina on our watch!Kachina: Th—Thanks, you guys.Kachina: I don't know your names... But, if you really want to face me, I'll allow it.Kachina: It has to wait until after the tournament, though! I need to focus on the upcoming matches. I don't want to let my parents down, or any of the friends who helped me get this far.Tonina: That's enough, you two. "Being caught off-guard" is not an excuse. You think you can cry foul play when you face the Abyss?Tonina: If this behavior persists, you may find yourselves barred from future competition.Tamuin: Tch... Whatever. Let's go.Paimon: Are you alright? You're not hurt anywhere, are you?Kachina: No, thanks to you. To be honest, I totally blanked out just now. I had no idea what to do.Traveler: It's alright. Just relax.Traveler: Focus on your upcoming matches.Kachina: Right! I—I'll show them what I'm made of!Paimon: That sounds more like it! You can do it!Lamanai: I heard there was trouble... Has the situation been resolved?Tonina: Yes. It was nothing out of the ordinary — a couple of sore losers coming to stir up trouble with the contestants.Lamanai: *sigh* Some people are so obsessed with glory, they can't even bear the idea of failure.Lamanai: I hope you don't let them get to you, Kachina, because you'll need to get ready. Your match is up soon.Kachina: That came up quick... Alright, I'm coming!Kachina: Hehe, w—well, guess I'm off!Optional Dialogue: Talk to PaimonPaimon: Have faith in yourself, Kachina — and don't get too tense!The additional dialogue appears if the player reads the Tournament Bulletin Board.Tournament Bulletin Board: (The competition announcement board. The upcoming match schedule and contestant scores are displayed here.)Kachina: My next opponent is new to the Pilgrimage... But, they still seem really strong.Kachina: Is... Is it really possible for me to come out on top?Optional Dialogue: Talk to LamanaiLamanai: We issued a warning to those two troublemakers. Try not to let them get to you.Lamanai: We get people like that every year. The Pilgrimage symbolizes glory, and some people can't accept missing out on the chance to claim it.Quest Objective: Prepare for the individual matchesNkunga: You must be Kachina?Nkunga: You know, people told me I got lucky in the draw, but I beg to differ. There are no coincidences in the arena. If you're standing here, it means you're strong, no matter what anyone says.Nkunga: So, I'm looking forward to seeing what you're made of. The team stage ended before I had my fill of battle. I hope you don't disappoint.Nkunga: Well, anything you want to say in return?Kachina: I—I won't lose to you, not when so many people are supporting me, and cheering for me, and I—Kachina: I really want to earn a spot in the Night Warden Wars!Balam: Alright, our contestants have each said their piece. To your places, everyone. Aaand... Begin!Deplete Nkunga's HP down to 80%Nkunga: Come on, you can do better!Deplete Nkunga's HP down to 50%Nkunga: That's more like it! Again!Quest Objective: Finish the duel with NkungaNkunga: *cough* I actually lost... Hah, knew I had an eye for the good ones. Guess that means I was right about you all along...Balam: Congratulations to Kachina for taking the win! Let's give her a round of applause, everyone! Now, diving into the other match-ups...Paimon: That's one down, woohoo!Quest Objective: Continue with the individual matchesThe rounds continue. Kachina scores some wins and suffers some losses. Her ranking stays in the middle of the pack.The individual match-ups reach the halfway mark. It's Kachina's turn to take the field again.Liliou: Where'd you come from, kid? Think you've got what it takes to go to war?Liliou: Hate to break it to you, but it won't be easy to get through me.Kachina: And you are...?Liliou: You don't recognize me? Hah, figures. Our generation's been in decline ever since Atea and the others retired from the frontlines.Liliou: Either way, once we face off, you won't forget my name any time soon. Let's do this!Quest Objective: Finish the duel with LiliuoCrowd: Liliuo! Liliuo!Liliou: Hear that? The exhilarating cheers of the crowd... That's why I'm here.Deplete Liliou's HP down to 80%Liliou: Looks like it's time to get seriousWatch as Liliou summons two ice pillarsKachina: (I've got to turn this around, and fast...)Kachina: (Wait, maybe I can try climbing that stone pillar! I should be able to catch her that way!)Deplete Liliou's HP down furtherLiliou: Try this on for size!Watch as Liliou summon the giant ice pillarKachina: (She's strong. I can't rush this. Just like the Traveler said, I need to observe my opponent and look for an opportunity...)Kachina: (It's not just about who hits the hardest!)Climb the giant ice pillarPaimon: C'mon, Kachina! You can do it!Kachina: Hah!Liliou: Ugh!Defeat LiliouLiliou: Gotta hand it to you, kid, you really impressed me. I take back what I said before our match.Liliou: You've got what it takes, Kachina. Youngsters like you? You'll forge your own miracles.Balam: And it's Kachina for the win! We'll now head into a short break as our contestants prepare for the final round of competition!Quest Objective: Take a halftime breakKachina: Thanks for cheering me on, you two.Paimon: You were great out there! You faced a lot of impressive competitors, but they never stood a chance!Kachina: I don't think I did too shabby, either. I've never gotten this many points before...Mualani: Ready for the last round, Kachina?Paimon: Mualani!Mualani: I got permission to come see you before the last round starts. Based on your score, it looks like you'll make it to the Night Warden Wars if you win your next match.Mualani: But, uh, your final opponent... It's me.Paimon: What!?Traveler: How unfortunate...Kachina: Yeah, I just found out myself. We're really close in the rankings, so... Only the winner gets to move forward.Kachina: But, I... I wanted to fight alongside you.Mualani: I did, too, but it is what it is. People with similar scores tend to get matched against each other.Mualani: But, we just have to get past it! War is cruel, and the Abyss certainly isn't going to go easy on us. Only Natlan's strongest deserve to stand against them.Mualani: So, I'm going to give this battle my all, Kachina, and I hope you do the same.Mualani: To hand victory to your opponent is to take pity on them. But, no one's asking for pity, here, yeah? So, you ready?Kachina: I—I'll do my best!Mualani: Attagirl.Paimon: So, if one of you has to lose... Who should we cheer for, then?Mualani: Hahaha, you mean one of us is destined to win! It's something worth celebrating either way!Mualani: I'll be happy no matter who wins, and I know you feel the same way, Kachina. So don't overthink it — let's just have ourselves a good match.Mualani: Traveler, Paimon — I'll see you after the match. Kachina — I'll see you on the field.Traveler: Kachina...Traveler: Good luck.Kachina: I've been training so long for this, and Mualani's helped so much. I'm going to show her that it didn't go to waste.Kachina: Thanks for believing in me. I'll... try believing in myself this time, too.Optional Dialogue: Talk to PaimonPaimon: Cheerleaders One and Two are here for you, no matter what!The additional dialogue appears if the player checks the Tournament Bulletin Board.Tournament Bulletin Board: (The competition announcement board. The upcoming match schedule and contestant scores are displayed here.)Tournament Bulletin Board: (The final round is about to begin...)Kachina: Mualani...Optional Dialogue: Talk to ToninaTonina: A competition is no place for regrets. Leave it all on the field. I have faith in you.Quest Objective: Finish the duel with MualaniAs the competition reaches its final stage, Kachina and Mualani begin a fierce duel. Mualani used her speed to completely overwhelm Kachina, while Kachina defended and looked for a chance to strike.
