We prepare to finish off this boss, by putting everything in place for our masterstroke. (Pompous enough?)

We learn some fellow resistance members are in need of rescue, so we take a detour to save them.

We manage to beat this trainer again, though, alas, Arycelle still hates us.

We start heading for the next town, only to run into one of the late Heirophant’s goons.

We report back in after the last mission and get an odd reaction from the duke.

We finally bring down Oz, and avenge Cerya, with another predicament on the horizon.

We continue to duke it out with the Templars & Oz.

Oz talks crap, gets bapped.

If we can’t save Cerya, we can – at least – avenge her.

We fail to save Cerya, as we realize her AI keeps getting her killed.

We try again after some grinding, and things seem to be going better…

As this chunk of attempts ends in failure, I have to decide if I should press on, or grind off camera before another attempt

Yet another attempt, this time applying the mobility effects sooner.

I try again, this time with some mobility effects.

I realize that my lineup wasn’t right to save Cerya, and I try another formation.

We attempt to come to Cerya’s aid.

We check in with our injured comrade before we had off after Vyce.

We take on some, frankly, under-equipped Galgastani holdouts.

We rejoin the Wallister Resistance to fight off the Bakram invasion.

We overcome Vyce and face a new decision branch.

It has come to Denan vs. Vyce, one-on-one.

We learn Vyce has some common backstory with Dio Brando (backstory not involving Stands or vampirism)
