We get the chapter break, and on the other side we find we’re not in a great spot.

We take down Ozma, but Catuia is still with Lodis.

Ozma lays into the party, as we try to take her down.

Bad RNG and the Stun effect have made the party all thumbs.

So, we found out how Catuia is doing. That’s good. Turns out she’s been gaslit by the Dark Knight Lanselot. That’s bad.

We end up getting stuck in with a bunch of Golems.

We attempt to storm the gatehouse.

In the Wake of the Duke’s Demise, we launch a hasty assault.

We finish mopping up the Lodis troops.

We continue to make some progress pushing through the Lodis troops.

We get stuck in right in the middle of the map.

We take on the Lodis forces to liberate another city from occupation.

Duke Ronwey deploys his masterstroke.

We finally clear out these monsters so we can move on.

We make one last push to finish off the monsters.

We finally start to regain control of the battle.

I continue my efforts to try to keep the party alive, burning through a lot of my resources.

One of our party members goes down, as we try to keep our head above water (lava?)

We end up getting swamped by a variety of dragons and other large units.

What’s better than a fight on a bridge in a castle? A fight on a bridge over a volcano!

Before heading on to the next story mission we buy some skills for our characters.

We finally take down the Galgastani commander, but sadly Vyce is having none of it.

We almost make it all the way across the bridge.
