Storyline

The mysterious quest started by their encounter with Crow has led Largo and Hugo to the secret base of anti-royals organization Black Blade where they are introduced to their leader Deliana. The mariners may offer to give them the location of the weapon cache in Peoria Ruins and ask them to join the final battle in Fort Liberty, if they haven't offered the same to Renaldo in Farrow first.

Gameplay

In the first visit, Largo and Hugo start near the staircase in the northwest section of the room. In revisits, they start in the center of the map with their followers recalled on their ship and have to be manually moved to exit the ship. To end the scenario, move to either place the mariners start the scenario from.

Notable NPCs:

• Deliana. If Fort Liberty has been unlocked and the player hasn't agreed to attack it with Renaldo instead, the player can asks Deliana to help with the attack.
• Bolk guards the storeroom north of the map. If the player has found the weapon cache in the Peoria Ruins and hasn't told Renaldo about it, they can tell Bolk so that the weapons fall under the Black Blade's arms.
• Tudoc, a Fugitive "hiding" in a village around the center of the map, offers training the mariners and their followers in the stealth ability for 30 gold.
• Cewel has a quest involving finding his missing dog Ratty. Ratty can be found by moving a unit to the northeast end of the water, requiring a unit that can cross deep water. There is a Tentacle of the Deep to be fought in the path. Once Ratty is found, he becomes a follower.
