We start to open the path to the tomb, and end up fighting a whole bunch of Dragons on the way.

We get these critters out of our way, and move on.

We have another random encounter on our way to a side-quest.

We gear up a little bit, and train some party members on additional spells.

We learn the full story of the Pirate’s Graveyard.

We finally take out this dungeon’s final boss.

We manage to move some of the party up to the middle island.

We continue to contend with tricky map layouts and ranged attackers.

We reach the final guardian of this dungeon.

We finally clear out the undead and open a path to the end of the dungeon.

We finally turn the fight around, though we still have a Bewitched party member.

Faced with Bewitched party members, I move back to cheats.

The monsters close with the party, and unleash status effects.

This time (among the various critters), we face a Dagon-class monster.

We finish off our next fight, opening the path to the next dungeon level.

The fight swings in our favor, but not without some real difficulty with these status effects.

Not only do they have enemies that can use AOE poison attacks, but we also are introduced to the Bewitched status effect.

We face off with a few dragons, and forgot to bring any of our Dragoons.

We finally conclude this battle so we can move on to the next area.

Things start going better, as we turn the fight around.

We try to get Azelstan to some tarot cards for the stat buffs.

Since our goal is, ultimately, to level up Azelstan, I break out the Forbidden Technique.

We finally make contact with the enemy monsters.

We continue to a more perilous map.
