• Augury:
(You will be able to see a little description/advice about the chapter if you pay 50 coins from this chapter on. It's like a prediction)
"Many of your foe will be carrying spears. You should take axes... Yes, many axes.
Hmm... And if that shrewish cleric girl is with you, take her as well.
She might well meet an old friend.
The weather, though... It doesn't look very good.
Be prepared for sudden changes.
You know, you should take a rapier. It will serve you well against many a foe."

• Strategy:
This mission is filled with cavaliers, most of them equipped with lances, to obtain everything in this mission you'll have to divide your team in three. The first group will only have Marcus, that will rescue Erk, then go drop it near Serra to make them talk and obtain Erk. The second group will have to control the middle part of the map, where most of the enemies will go to in order to attack you, it'd be great to have Hector, Oswin, Lowen (if you trained him a bit already) and Eliwood (if you don't care wasting the rapier a little, that is) in this group. The last group will head south, you could have Guy, Dorcas and Bartre in this group, Guy for controlling the pirates that come from the sea and Dorcas and Bartre to kill the Knight and go shopping.
And get ready for turns from 5 to 7, then will rain and your units' movement will be significantly reduced.

About the boss, he deals heavy damage with his silver lance, Hector's and Eliwood's weapons (Wolf Beil and Rapier) will surely kill him or leave him very weak, Marcus can also kill him (but try not to use him, anyway) and another option is Erk if he's at a good level. Brigands will also come from the mountains to the left, but they will barely reach the top village.... though the pirates from below will get to the bottom village if you take too long to kill them, and specially because of the rain you have to hurry up.
