Storyline: Completed!

[rifle100]

It wouldn't be a baad idea to have him in the party, he would be the highest in speed and also a have the highest power of evasion

[Indinera]

higher than merline??

[rifle100]

Maybe... Merline is still young u know

[titaness]

Has everyone forgotten UDO???? Will he show up in this episode??? Well, I know he'll
be there, whether we see him or not, but will he actually come out of hiding and join
the party??? And, by the way, no bad talk about my beloved Bokden, please. It makes
me angry, and you don't want an angry Oracle on your hands!!!

[Indinera]

Yeah but Bokden hasn't done much so far to help Marine, has he?

[SurferGranny]

Nope, but he's sure helped Titaness!!!!

[Tilly Mint]

Hmm. As I recall, at the start of MM3, Marine was captured and 'unconcious'. She behaved strangely when she met up with the team. This series of events struck me as most odd and I expected different things/actons from Marine. She appeared quite normal throughout the game and I wonder if whatever happened to her then will surface in MM4.

Or maybe I'm seeing things that aren't there.

[Indinera]

what do you imagine could have happened?

[Tilly Mint]

It was a deliberate plot by the villains to capture her. Why else have someone pretend to be on her side. Given that, then they had a reason to do so. They didn't kill her and dump her where she couldn't be found. They didn't kill her and dump her where she could be found. Either scenario would ensure the failure of the campaign because she was the leader. If they threatened her then it was pointless because she couldn't remember anything and she couldn't pass any information on to her team. It didn't take a great deal of time because although they were wondering where she was it wasn't so long that they were getting to send out a search party. The team swiftly pass it off, as did she. So, the villains have altered her. Planted something in her brain, perhaps, so that at a strategic point they can cause her to sabotage her plans. The ways are various and numerous.
I don't think it's like you to put something into the game that is unnecessary. Things might go at a tangent for while but there is usually a logical reason: quests; build levels etc but this incident doesn't fit that scheme. As it stands, thius is an unnecessary and pointless event. Therefore, it must have an impact in a later chapter.
Having read some of the comments, if mother were to appear it might be at this point when she can get into Marine's head and strengthen her resolve; show her the right path and what's been done to her; encourage her to fight etc. Of course, Marine will emerge stronger.
How's that?
Now, my thoughts on the Dragon Lord....

[D-Squall]

About her acting strange after been defeated by Merryll and Kusinov, that was a very strange attitude of her. Maybe she comes to despair again like in the end of Millennium 2 where she almost gave up of her journey. Well, after that trap in the cave, Marine said that the warriors of Mystrock are too strong and that no one could've defeated them... still, after that she got a grip of herself and still continued on her journey... but no one knows if she still comes to despair again and that she almost give up, that can happen right? But give up she won't, everyone knows that she wins, but no one knows HOW.

How's that?
That's a really nice and well developed theory!
Can't wait to hear what you have to say about LD.

[Indinera]

but no one knows HOW.

[Tomas]

Tilly Mint: Interesting theory. But if they somehow "altered" Marine, who's behind such an elaborate plan? Merryll certainly doesn't seem to be smart enough for this?
Also, they couldn't simply kill Marine, because Lord Dragon already knows about her, so if she just "disappeared" it would be too obvious.

[Tilly Mint]

Don't you think there might be a connection between Lord Dragon and the Dragon of Malice? Are we talking shapeshifters here? The dragon of malice likes Marine and friends, doesn't he?
It is elaborate and they don't seem capable of all the planning on their own ergo there must be someone else.
I can't remember what is supposed to happen when Marine et al win. Do they become the new rulers of Mystrock?

[Indinera]

if (not 'when') they win, they are to rule mystrock and install a new government
