Proto:Shining Force II/Chapter 11

Hassan
In this half-deserted port town, Bowie and Peter get a tip to visit Rohde, a local historian...

'...but he won't talk to the force unless they have something of historical worth. Since Rohde won't take notice of the extremely important jewels around Bowie's neck, he sets out to find something else at...'

Desert Ruins
'Bowie finds an old man and his grandson already at the shrine. They think he's someone named Petro.'

'The old man gets close enough to realize he's not Petro. Bowie (presumably) asks about the Sky Orb.'

The old man shuffles off to the back of the ruins.

'The old man says most of the tunnels are useless...except the one to Grans. He asks if they want to go there.'

Bowie & Peter agree to follow the depressed grandpa.

Magic Tunnel Shrine
'The old man opens the door to the shrine with the legendary and revered "Ro-sham-bo" spell (actual line). Inside...'

'And pan over to a group of monsters. Of course.'

After taking them out (to a nice dinner (of death)) the old man thanks the crew.

The old man tries twice to open the door with his powerful Rock-paper-scissors spell (not an actual line), but it remains closed.

'Not wanting to waste this trip, Bowie finds a wooden panel in a treasure chest. Wait. Wooden panel?'

Ribble
'Bowie places the wooden panel in the town's giant tree, revealing an entrance to some ancient ruins! In the ruins is the legendary and inappropriately-named Achilles Sword.'

'A named sword is surely ancient. Who liked ancient stuff again?'

Hassan (Again)
Rohde says they can get the Ancient Caravan with that sword.

Because Bowie doesn't trust this old man yet (Read: Because there's changed text here), he says no.

Five seconds later, he talks to Rohde again.

'Bowie agrees this time, taking the elder scholar with him. To the Taros Shrine!'

Taros Shrine
As the party enters the shrine, a booming voice tells them to stop where they are.

Pan over to Taros, an armored giant with a massive sword.

Peter asks Rohde what they should do.

'IMPORTANT NOTE: This is the first real boss in the game. Taros can only be harmed by swinging the Achilles Sword at his feet (get it?), so it's up to Bowie to fell this guy. Like every other enemy, he explodes in a satisfying fire.'

'After Taros has been giant-killed, Rohde inspects the Caravan. It's about as be as he is.'

Rohde shrinks(!) as he approaches the Caravan, riding off with the physics-defying vehicle.

As if on cue (because he sorta is), Rohde rides back with the Carvan.

Rohde points out that they can't enter battle when miniaturized.

He turns to Bowie.

Hassan
The town's resident walking sign is despondent:

This guy by the abandoned docks gives some history on the town:

'''One of the priests in town (not the main priest, a spare) asks where the force is from. Peter says Bowie is from Grans Island.'

Peter asks: What happened to Max?

Taros Shrine
The force can enter the Taros shrine before getting Rohde's attention, but it proves futile.

Pan to Taros.

Desert Ruins
Some backstory on Petro:

Ribble
The sailor behind the giant tree is surprised when the tree is opened...or is he?
