Base / Preparations

(Ugggghhhhhhhh
I'm overall disappointed by Map 2
But at this point, I'll just run with it; it's not terrible, anyways
Expect updates soonish, I'll probably post story progression one more time here then create Map 2's topic)

LIES IT IS DEAD!

YOU ALWAYS SAY TODAY OR TOMORROW!

(Okay, guys. I screwed up majorly.
I wanted to have a rich story for the game, but I realize that the game's been rather bland and slow with all this story I'm trying to shove into the game... There haven't been many opportunities for actual player interaction ((although some)), and that's totally my fault. I want to apologize for all of that. I promise that the game will start to pick up after Chapter 1, and allow for much more freedom and overall fun.
However, as the game creator, I still want the story to be somewhat developed, so I ask that you please remain patient for this chapter and this chapter alone. I also promise not to have so much "required" story exposition in the future. Thanks for reading.

And, Just...
YOU NEVER SAID I HAD TO UPDATE WELL!
HAHA!
HAVE A CRAPPY STORY UPDATE!)

Tom leads the way to Castle Crimea with Ray, Kress, and Tarot following behind. The guards wave the group through very easily. The group passes by a wonderful exterior of flowerbeds and fountains, and arrive inside the castle. The inside of Castle Crimea can simply be described as majestic. The group keeps walking across the vast main hall until a group of soldiers intercepts them. One of them takes the chest from Tarot and inspects it, looking all around the chest and even sniffing it. This guy’s passionate…
“Yes, here’s the cargo. Good work, carriers. Oh, no need to pull out your official seal. Tom is a good enough seal by himself.”
“...”
“Well, here’s your pay.” The soldier hands Tarot a sack of something.
Got 50000G!
“That’s all we’ll need for your services. As agreed previously, that boat in the harbor is the majority of your payment. It’s almost ready to go; all you need is for Tom here to take off that Crimean flag and you’ll be set to sail. Tom, go escort them to the ship. Oh, and take them through the side route. Much quicker.”
The group departs the castle through a side entrance. Well, I guess it’s time for Future Past to leave.

"Well... It looks like this is where we part ways.
Ray. You'll head with us. We're taking on some jobs in foreign continents. Your help is appreciated.
Kress. If you need nothing else, you're free to leave. It's been nice meeting you. I ask that you please see us off, though. I'm sure the others will want to say goodbye to you, despite not saying a word to you..."

The group starts to exit the castle, but notices something strange...
The villagers are running. An army is positioned in front of Castle Crimea, bearing the colors of the Royal Guard. And another army is flooding through the front gates...
