We’re ambushed by Xapan, the bounty hunter who was creeping on Catiua, and try to link up with the rest of the party.

We continue on our way to link up with Lanselot, get some new party members, and get ambushed.

After the fight, we upgrade our gear and train up our skills.

We finally finish off Dagon and his goons.

We continue to fight our way to the boss, including figuring out that those Brute units are only vulnerable to magic.

We continue the fight, as a ninja goes down on each side.

We go to rendezvous with our new allies and run into some more bounty hunters along the way.

We take out the boss, with the awkward revelations that come with it, and determine our next objective.

We continue taking on this new boss, now fighting her directly, and finally taking action and unmuting our audio.

We go on to rescue our third Liberation Army member, blissfully unware of the horrible fact that my audio is still muted.

We finish off the pirates, and agree to rescue another member of the Liberation Army – but little do I know that I’m still muted.

We continue trying to rescue the mage, while I continue to forget that I’m muted.

We go to take on some pirates, and I fail to notice that I’m muted.

The boss finally goes down, and we figure out our next goal.

The enemy has finally been whittled down to a few units.

And now we have to keep and both our Ninja & Terror Knight alive.

We continue to pare them down, as the Terror Knight goes down.

We try to slowly chip away from the boss’s health.

We try to find refuge in a town, and end up having to take control of it first.

We finally force Vyce to flee, and take stock of the new state of the map.

I’ve finally figured out how to keep Arycelle alive!

It turns out this is a secret escort mission – again – so we end up restarting to change our team’s lineup accordingly.
