Translation Notes
********************
********************
Welcome to the English translation of Sword & Sorcery. Please note that this is NOT a fan translation, but the official translation which appears in the USA release of the 3DO version (which appears under the title Lucienne's Quest). I take credit only for transcribing it and fixing the numerous grammatical errors, and in fact know scarcely any Japanese. I typed up this translation because most Saturn gamers do not own a 3DO, and thus are limited to the Japanese release of Sword & Sorcery, which is hard to play if you don't know what's going on in the story.
Sometimes the game shows the characters' thoughts, by way of thought bubbles. I marked thoughts by enclosing them in double bracers ( {{ }} ). My notes are in brackets. If a character is not identified by name, I tag their dialogue with a simple description, even if the character is later identified. This is to avoid spoilers, naturally.

I. Introduction
***************
Narrator: Far, far away, among the mountains, there was a tower called
Pinakoteik. In the tower, lives the great sorcerer Kokindo and his apprentice.
A 15 year old girl by the name of Lucienne.
This legend is one of many stories of Lucienne's Quest. We will now enter into
the wonderful magical world...
***********************
II. Tower of Pinakoteik
***********************
++++++++++ Cutscene ++++++++++
tower visitor: This is the famous tower of Pinakoteik, home of the great
sorcerer, Kokindo. I hope he can find a cure for my curse. I must gather my
courage and knock on his door, and meet Kokindo. Hello! Is the sorcerer
Kokindo home?
[visitor enters]
Lucienne (shouting): Who's there?
tower visitor: Oh... Who are you?
Lucienne: I'm Lucienne. Who are YOU? What are you looking for?
tower visitor: I... I... I am Ago. I've been told that the great sorcerer,
Kokindo, lives here. Is it possible to see him?
Lucienne: My master is gone.
Ago: What? What did you say!?! What's going on? It can't be!!!
Lucienne: Hum...
[flashback opens]
Kokindo: Lucienne, I must leave town for an errand. I will be gone for a short
while. I hesitate to leave you, a young girl, in charge of the tower. But, I
have no choice.
Lucienne: Yes, Master. You can depend upon me, come high water or heck.
Kokindo: You mean, "come hell or high water".
Lucienne: Oh... Yes, yes (whatever)...
Narrator: Kokindo takes a deep breath and sighs.
Kokindo: So long, Lucienne. The stars tell me, while I'm gone, a visitor will
appear who will cause a great change in your life. The outcome cannot yet be
determined. Either way, you must follow your heart.
Lucienne: ...Yes. (Follow my heart?)
Kokindo: It means don't let your fears stop you.
Lucienne: I understand...?
Narrator: Master shakes his head.
Kokindo: Now, I must leave.
Lucienne: Have a safe journey, Master.
[flashback closes]
Lucienne: That's the story of Master's departure.
Ago: (sob) The curse will be with us forever.
Lucienne: What is this curse?
Ago: This is a tale of our sad plight... Since the Junin (beast man) raided our
village, we suffered their curse. We turn into wolfmen as soon as the sun
sets. There are other villages and towns raided by the Junin, too. I've
visited many doctors, but they all failed to cure us. I then heard of the
great Kokindo, and I came all the way here to see him. But... he's gone. This
was my last hope.
Lucienne: Ah, ha... This sounds exciting!!
Ago: Excuse me??
Lucienne: Ah... I was just talking to myself. Hey, I've got an idea. I will
consult the crystal ball for you.
Ago: You.......? {{But... she is Kokindo's apprentice. Maybe I can trust
her.}}
Lucienne: Ummm... (cough)... Now, I will weave a spell to read the crystal
ball.
Ago: {{Is she for real... But, she is my last resort...?}}
Lucienne: Hubbly, bubbly, boo...
Ago: ...... (Waiting)...
Lucienne: Hummmmmm...
Ago: ...Excuse me... but...
Lucienne: ...Quiet, I'm concentrating. I'm contacting the spiritual plane.
Wooooo... Ago... The cure awaits you in the village of Mirado, past the village
of Babachop. The Junin will have the cure.
Ago: What...? I've traveled this far and still have to go to Mirado!!!!!!
Lucienne: {{Ah... He's falling for it. Hey... I'm bored anyhow. I'll go with
him.}}
Ago: Spirits... Is there any more?
Lucienne: Wooooo...
Ago: What's happening?
Lucienne: You must take the apprentice, Lucienne, with you.
Ago: What... ? But, she's... (just a girl)...
Lucienne: YOU - MUST - TAKE - HER - WITH - YOU.
Ago: OK, OK...
Lucienne: Good. You must heed these instructions.
Ago: Yes, yes...
Lucienne: Whoa... Now, we must gather our supplies from the first floor of the
tower.
Ago: Hum (What's going on?)...
Narrator: Ago thinks something is not quite on the level.
Lucienne: YOU - MUST - TAKE - HER - WITH - YOU.
Ago: OK, OK... I'll take her with me.
Lucienne: Ah...
Narrator: This is how Lucienne and Ago prepare for their trip. Lucienne is
excited by the idea of the adventure. However, she is unaware of the many
dangers that are waiting.
++++++++++++++++++++
man carrying books: You can sometimes find a Talisman in the treasure box in
the dungeons. The talisman is kept in Solomon's pot. When you use it by
selecting it during battle, its power will attack your enemies instead of
consuming your own MP. You can use it as many times as you want as long as you
have MP, and you don't have to be a magician to use it.
crab man: We are the representatives of the sorcerer Kokindo. You mean
Kokindo asked you to pick something up for him.
man in overalls: Magic must be found along the journey, not bought in the
store. Tradition says, when a magician comes of age, they must search out
their magic.
wandering blue creature: There is a colony in our area where they make
weapons and shields, and the supplies for adventuring.
[if you talk to the pink creature]
Lucienne: Behind this door, we can find money and items we need for the
journey. Master said I can use them in an emergency.
left sentinel: Each weapon has its own property of destruction. With a
higher power weapon, you can even topple stone walls.
right sentinel: This is the tower of Pinakoteik. There is a colony in our
area. You will need to buy weapons from the armory in the colony for your
journey.
***********
III. Colony
***********
little boy: If you rest in a camp, your HP will restore to full power. If
you rest in the Inn, your MP and HP will restore to full power.
woman: This is a Pinakoteik colony. The tower you see from here is the
house of the great sorcerer, Kokindo. But, you know that... Lucienne. The
village of Babachop is located on the east side of the river of this colony.
I bet you did not know that, Lucienne.
man: Hi, Lucienne, are you out shopping today? If you are planning a long
journey, you'd better buy weapons and shields. To buy weapons and shields,
select them from the Camp menu. Higher power weapons can even destroy stone
walls. While your weapon's power is low, you'll need to fight away from caves
or rocky areas.
************
IV. Babachop
************
guy with hammer: In the dungeon, there are bars and walls you can break with
weapons. Some bars and walls require higher power weapons. The bars and walls
in Chichibora cave can be broken with a club or battle ax that you can buy
here.
mole-bear in dress: If you prove to be good magicians, there's more magic to
be found here.
guy with hammer: Did yew' know wee'z in a war? We got heapz of troublezz.
The leader' z got cowardz in the famli'. 'taint nothin' we kin do 'bout it.
'taint no use tellin' strangers 'bout it though.
mole-bear in dress: Tadaaaa... I'm the beauty queen of Mole-Bears, Miss
Fuzzie. Do you like my shapely curves. Yes? I'll be eternally indebted to
the brave heroes who save us from the Ogres.
underground worker: The Ogres are vicious, ruthless monsters. Their nest is
in Chichibora's cave in the north-east side of Babachop village. They are the
mole-bear's natural enemy.
inn keeper: 10 Gold per day to stay.
[if you stay]: I hope you had a good stay. Please come back soon.
worker on second floor: They are a family known for their warriors in this
village. But the son, Miminaga, is rumored to be a coward.
mole-bear next to previous: You are in Babachop's village. We are called the
Mole-Bears. The Chichibora's cave is in the north-east corner of Babachop
village.
yellow kid: When the ogres attack, Miminaga hides in his house. We have to
come and get him to fight.
mole-bear next to previous: Mirado? You can't travel with the war on. If we
win the war with the Ogres, we can again travel freely.
++++++++++ Cutscene ++++++++++
Miminaga: I'm not going to get myself killed being a warrior. Fighting scares
me.
[Miminaga leaves]
Chief: This is my heart-ache. He must succeed me as a warrior. He will not
follow tradition.
Lucienne: Why are you bandaged?
Chief: Hummm? You must be strangers here?
Lucienne: I'm Lucienne. This is my friend, Ago. You look like you've been
hurt.
Chief: Oh, this? We had to fight with the Ogres. My fighting skills are the
pits...
Lucienne: Ah ha... Is it painful?
Chief: Not really, but I'm very stiff.
Lucienne: I'll use a spell to relieve your injuries. [casts a spell] How do
you feel now?
Chief: It's much better. Thank you.
Lucienne: That's good. What's wrong, now?
Chief: Well, the injury left me weak. The thought of the Ogres returning makes
me frustrated. That's why I'm hard on my son, Miminaga.
Lucienne: Miminaga, the man who just walked out?
Chief: That's him.
Ago: How's the battle with the Ogres doing?
Chief: Poorly, our army is pitiful. We have been relying on fortification.
This village is good for defense, and the majority of the people are
mole-bears. They are comfortable living in caves.
Ago: You can't lose, but you can't win either.
Chief: I know. Yes, I am the leader of our army, but I'm stuck here. Besides,
I can't rely on my coward son. There is no way to win.
Lucienne: I have a plan. We can stop the Ogres.
Chief: It's impossible. Besides, why would you fight for the Mole-Bears? You
owe us nothing.
Lucienne: I have my own reasons. We must go to Mirado. We must pass through
Chichibora caves. For this reason, we must stop the Ogres.
Chief: How will you stop them?
Lucienne: We will sneak into the nest, and kill the leader.
Chief: The Ogres' leader? But, that is impossible!!!
Ago: Even the strong army without a leader will fall apart.
Chief: I agree... But, how will you accomplish this feat?
Ago: A small group could sneak into their nest.
Lucienne: That's correct. We need Miminaga's help for this plan.
Chief: Miminaga?...
Lucienne: Yes, sir.
Chief: I'm his father, but I have to say... He is a coward.
Lucienne: I have my reasons.
Ago: Cowardice and weakness are two different things. We need the opportunity
to learn his strength.
Lucienne: That is true. Well, we must leave now.
Chief: We have a guardian at the mouth of Chichibora cave. He will let you
pass with Miminaga. Also, take this with you. I am sure it will be a great
help.
[various items received]
Lucienne: Thanks, sir.
Chief: Take care of my son.
++++++++++++++++++++
Chief: Lucienne, Ago, please take care of my son.
++++++++++ Cutscene ++++++++++
Miminaga: And who are you?
Lucienne: I'm Lucienne. This is Ago. Are you Miminaga?
Miminaga: Uh... Y... Y... Yes.
Lucienne: Ah... ha. Come with us!
Miminaga: Come where???
Lucienne: To go and fight the Ogres.
Miminaga: What...? You must be crazy!!!
Lucienne: Don't be afraid.
Miminaga: No way!!
Lucienne: We need you to lead us to Chichibora cave. We don't know how to get
there. Just lead us to the entrance. You don't have to come in.
Miminaga: If we go to the cave, the Ogres will eat us.
Lucienne: We'll protect you from the Ogres, Miminaga. Just guide us to the
cave.
Miminaga: Nnnnn... no way.
Lucienne: Please?
Miminaga: No!
Lucienne: Pretty pleassssssse? You are such a BIG STRONG Mole-Bear.
Narrator: She starts fluttering her eye lashes. She poses shyly and her skirt
slides above her knee.
Miminaga: ...(sigh)...
Narrator: Miminaga blushes. Miminaga's intelligence drops 50 points.
Miminaga's confused and flustered.
Miminaga: OK... All right. But, only to the entrance of the cave. I'll NEVER
go inside.
++++++++++++++++++++
******************
V. Chichibora cave
******************
++++++++++ Cutscene ++++++++++
Miminaga: This is the Ogre's nest. I said I'd take you this far, but not a
step further.
Ago: That's what we agreed on, but are you sure?
Miminaga: Well sure... ah...? What do you mean?
Ago: Remember we battled quite a few monsters on the way? Three of us could
beat them together, but not one alone.
Miminaga: Oh... That's right... What should I do then?
Lucienne: We can wait here until we come back. Then, the three of us can leave
together.
Miminaga: But what if the Ogres come back? .....OK, I think I should go with
you.
++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++ Cutscene ++++++++++
Guardian: OH! You are with Miminaga. With Miminaga, you may pass.
Lucienne: Thank you.
Miminaga: I only agreed to lead you here, but I'm not gonna fight...
Lucienne: OK, OK.
++++++++++++++++++++
Guardian: You may pass. May your cave always be warm!
++++++++++ Cutscene ++++++++++
Lucienne: Humm... I wonder if we can go through here.
Miminaga: With the proper weapon, we can destroy this rock easily.
Lucienne: The weapon to destroy rocks?
Ago: Something to blast the rocks... For example, Blazion?
Miminaga: I've heard the leader of the Ogres is hiding the Blazion somewhere in
this cave.
++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++ Cutscene ++++++++++
[When you find Earth Spirit]
Lucienne: Wow! I found the "Spirit of the Ground".
Miminaga: "Spirit of the Ground"?
Lucienne: This is the energy of the earth itself.
Ago: "Spirit of the Ground"? It just looks like a pot...
Lucienne: It's the Solomon's pot, the home of the "Spirit of the Ground". You
can call forth the spirit if you have MP even if you are not a magician. When
it's summoned during battle, it affects the enemy just like magic.
Miminaga: Hey... then, I can use it, too?
Lucienne: Yes... definitely.
++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++ Cutscene ++++++++++
Miminaga: Wow... This is the leader of the Ogres... I, I think I'll leave now!
Lucienne: What? We've come all this way!
Miminaga: I'm scared.
Lucienne: But, I'm scared, too. I bet Ago is, too. Right? Ago?
Ago: If I said I wasn't afraid, I would be lying. But, Miminaga, this Ogre
hurt your father. Are you not gonna do anything?
Miminaga: Oh... My father...
Ago: Yeah... Besides, how can you stand being called a coward?
Miminaga: No, I don't like it...
Ago: Now is the time to muster your courage. Don't worry! Three of us can
beat this monster together.
Miminaga: OK! Let's go. We'll kill the Ogre.
[Battle with Ogre Head]
Miminaga: We've defeated the Ogre.
Lucienne: Yes, we did. Attaboy, Miminaga!!
Ago: No one can call you a coward now.
Lucienne: Yes, no one. Instead, you'll be a hero. Miminaga...
Miminaga: Am I a hero?
Lucienne: Let's go home! Everybody will be amazed.

Ago: You can't lose, but you can't win either.
Chief: I know. Yes, I am the leader of our army, but I'm stuck here. Besides,
I can't rely on my coward son. There is no way to win.
Lucienne: I have a plan. We can stop the Ogres.
Chief: It's impossible. Besides, why would you fight for the Mole-Bears? You
owe us nothing.
Lucienne: I have my own reasons. We must go to Mirado. We must pass through
Chichibora caves. For this reason, we must stop the Ogres.
Chief: How will you stop them?
Lucienne: We will sneak into the nest, and kill the leader.
Chief: The Ogres' leader? But, that is impossible!!!
Ago: Even the strong army without a leader will fall apart.
Chief: I agree... But, how will you accomplish this feat?
Ago: A small group could sneak into their nest.
Lucienne: That's correct. We need Miminaga's help for this plan.
Chief: Miminaga?...
Lucienne: Yes, sir.
Chief: I'm his father, but I have to say... He is a coward.
Lucienne: I have my reasons.
Ago: Cowardice and weakness are two different things. We need the opportunity
to learn his strength.
Lucienne: That is true. Well, we must leave now.
Chief: We have a guardian at the mouth of Chichibora cave. He will let you
pass with Miminaga. Also, take this with you. I am sure it will be a great
help.

Miminaga: And who are you?
Lucienne: I'm Lucienne. This is Ago. Are you Miminaga?
Miminaga: Uh... Y... Y... Yes.
Lucienne: Ah... ha. Come with us!
Miminaga: Come where???
Lucienne: To go and fight the Ogres.
Miminaga: What...? You must be crazy!!!
Lucienne: Don't be afraid.
Miminaga: No way!!
Lucienne: We need you to lead us to Chichibora cave. We don't know how to get
there. Just lead us to the entrance. You don't have to come in.
Miminaga: If we go to the cave, the Ogres will eat us.
Lucienne: We'll protect you from the Ogres, Miminaga. Just guide us to the
cave.
Miminaga: Nnnnn... no way.
Lucienne: Please?
Miminaga: No!
Lucienne: Pretty pleassssssse? You are such a BIG STRONG Mole-Bear.
Narrator: She starts fluttering her eye lashes. She poses shyly and her skirt
slides above her knee.
Miminaga: ...(sigh)...
Narrator: Miminaga blushes. Miminaga's intelligence drops 50 points.
Miminaga's confused and flustered.
Miminaga: OK... All right. But, only to the entrance of the cave. I'll NEVER
go inside.

Miminaga: This is the Ogre's nest. I said I'd take you this far, but not a
step further.
Ago: That's what we agreed on, but are you sure?
Miminaga: Well sure... ah...? What do you mean?
Ago: Remember we battled quite a few monsters on the way? Three of us could
beat them together, but not one alone.
Miminaga: Oh... That's right... What should I do then?
Lucienne: We can wait here until we come back. Then, the three of us can leave
together.
Miminaga: But what if the Ogres come back? .....OK, I think I should go with
you.

Guardian: OH! You are with Miminaga. With Miminaga, you may pass.
Lucienne: Thank you.
Miminaga: I only agreed to lead you here, but I'm not gonna fight...
Lucienne: OK, OK.
++++++++++++++++++++
Guardian: You may pass. May your cave always be warm!
++++++++++ Cutscene ++++++++++
Lucienne: Humm... I wonder if we can go through here.
Miminaga: With the proper weapon, we can destroy this rock easily.
Lucienne: The weapon to destroy rocks?
Ago: Something to blast the rocks... For example, Blazion?
Miminaga: I've heard the leader of the Ogres is hiding the Blazion somewhere in
this cave.

[When you find Earth Spirit]
Lucienne: Wow! I found the "Spirit of the Ground".
Miminaga: "Spirit of the Ground"?
Lucienne: This is the energy of the earth itself.
Ago: "Spirit of the Ground"? It just looks like a pot...
Lucienne: It's the Solomon's pot, the home of the "Spirit of the Ground". You
can call forth the spirit if you have MP even if you are not a magician. When
it's summoned during battle, it affects the enemy just like magic.
Miminaga: Hey... then, I can use it, too?
Lucienne: Yes... definitely.
++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++ Cutscene ++++++++++
Miminaga: Wow... This is the leader of the Ogres... I, I think I'll leave now!
Lucienne: What? We've come all this way!
Miminaga: I'm scared.
Lucienne: But, I'm scared, too. I bet Ago is, too. Right? Ago?
Ago: If I said I wasn't afraid, I would be lying. But, Miminaga, this Ogre
hurt your father. Are you not gonna do anything?
Miminaga: Oh... My father...
Ago: Yeah... Besides, how can you stand being called a coward?
Miminaga: No, I don't like it...
Ago: Now is the time to muster your courage. Don't worry! Three of us can
beat this monster together.
Miminaga: OK! Let's go. We'll kill the Ogre.
[Battle with Ogre Head]
Miminaga: We've defeated the Ogre.
Lucienne: Yes, we did. Attaboy, Miminaga!!
Ago: No one can call you a coward now.
Lucienne: Yes, no one. Instead, you'll be a hero. Miminaga...
Miminaga: Am I a hero?
Lucienne: Let's go home! Everybody will be amazed.
