Plot

Main articles:A Gathering Hope/Script andA Gathering Hope/Conversations

Back at the Liberation Army's camp,Izuka outlines his next strategy. Before he can do so, he informs them thatPelleas will not be appearing with him any further and that he will speak on his behalf, whichMicaiah objects to. Izuka plans to strike Umono's prison camp by poisoning a nearby lake and waiting for the enemy soldiers to die. Micaiah once again objects, stating she will not allow such vile tactics.Sothe also informs him that the poison would very likely also kill the prisoners they wish to rescue. Exasperated, Izuka leaves the army to their own devices. Micaiah then begins to put forth her strategy toTauroneo.

At the Umono Prison Camp,Djur, a Begnion commander, and his soldiers receive news of the Liberation Army's arrival, and Djur orders a soldier to defend outside. Micaiah and Sothe then arrive, and it is revealed that Tauroneo was stationed to distract the guards outside so fewer would be present inside the camp. The Liberation Army then begins their mission.

During the mission,Tormod,Muarim, andVika break into the prison to aid Sothe. Sothe recognizes him, as doesJill. Muarim and Vika transform, terrifying a Begnion soldier. Some reinforcements appear to calm him down and deal with the group, though Tormod kills one of them.

After the mission, Izuka demands to know who the three are, and Sothe introduces them as his acquaintances from Begnion. He also worries that the presence of morelaguz would result in backlash of some sort. Pelleas appears to be compliant to Izuka as well. Afterwards, Sothe speaks with Tormod, asking him how he arrived so soon. Tormod reveals to Micaiah that he was investigating whetherthe apostle knew about the events in Daein, and traced the occupying army's actions to a select few senators in Begnion. Micaiah later finds some time away from the two, and begins musing about how Sothe has been acting, noting how she raised him when he was young. Muarim, who is also present, warns her that such statements would revealher true nature.

Beginning log

The Liberation Army's sweeping victory seems to signal a turn in the war for Daein. However, General Jarod uses his superior numbers to harry the group and threaten their fragile momentum. Begnion has fortified its army with weapons and supplies bought with funds stolen from Daein. Begnion has also purchased the swords of a vast number of mercenaries from these same stolen funds. The Liberation Army does not want for willing fighters of its own. However, most are old men and inexperienced boys whose passion far outstrips their skill. The Liberation Army has no choice: it must bolster its ranks if it is to meet Begnion on equal terms. Its only hope lies locked in Begnion's prison camps, where Daein's former soldiers await their rescue.

You now haveFiona. Arguably either the worst or the best paladin in the game, Fiona presents a very gnarly problem: is her investment worth it? Investing into Fiona can be a very fun project, but takes patience and commitment to a playstyle that not everyone enjoys. She has absolutely incredible stat growth rates, as well as a freeSavior andImbue, both very useful for her as she has high magic already and, as a cavalier, is naturally prone to rescuing others.

But, again, the cost. It is steep and difficult, for the xp she will soak up from the rest of the party is no joke. It can be mitigated by boss abusing, and great care in general, but, regardless, it is a significant decision to make. This is merely being written so fewer people will simply write her off at the get go. She has incredible viability if wanted.
