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)

We finally overcome the spellweaver, ending the fight.

Things end up going bad enough that I decide to start the fight over.

The fight continues to go increasingly more pear-shaped.

We launch our rescue attempt and have a bit of a rough start.

We make a semi-desperate gamble to take down Xapan.

We’re in a pretty tight spot, as several characters go down.

We continue to try to join everyone up, while contending with some golems who I should have planned for.
