Other jobs are OP!
Last time, I was killed in a clear ambush at the Azure Fields. After a few warm-ups to grind for the Monk class, I get back to the story. I return to my failure, only slightly stronger than before, but strong enough. I killed the Kawa bandit bug fella, got a cool electrical sword I probably won’t use, AND was able to kill its back-up. It was hard, but Kyrie being able to shoot dark beams from her hand helped.
Back on the world map, I see that there were three chests hidden in the stupid high flowers. ...Oh boy! Because I’m actually very greedy, I go back in. It’s the new hardest fight! Gunners are OP! Exclamation points! Long range status effects are rough. And they have two dedicated healers and a third or fourth who can do it, too. Add in the tanky tanks and the root counters, and, man, things were not fun. Inside were pretty decent items, sorta. You can buy the items in the next city, so they were not worth the effort. I won in attempt one, but it took forever. There’s an optional scene, still in Azure Fields, where Anadine and Yates converse like friends. She holds the mad doctor in high regard, not knowing his true intentions. Reiner advises her to avoid him, which kinda annoys her.
With the fighting done, we continue to Banyan Span. It’s a strange battlefield, just one long tree root/branch. It's unique but tight and hard to traverse. When we show up at the field, a man named Mercier tries to shake us down. When Kyrie does her Arbiter arrest speech, the bandit leader then offers us passage. He doesn’t want to deal with the fluff around us. Alas, Kyrie doesn’t take him up on his offer, and a fight breaks out. The goal is to defeat the leader, who’s been moved to the back of the field. What you need to worry about most is the gunner at the back. Ultimately, Lucy heals a lot, and Kyrie shoots lasers, and I manage to win. I think I know who my MVPs are. We don’t have to kill him, but we do need to lower his HP to near death. After the fight, we try to escort Mercier to jail. The nearest guildhouse doesn’t have prison cells, though. We prepare to return and upset the journey until a new Arbiter Captain shows up. Dolman and his crew take him off us after a professional conversation. I wonder if he’s a corrupt one, and we just gave him our new mid-boss?
At the city of Thespeiros, we split up to find information on the area. The bandits we fought were a squad from a larger group that laid siege to the town earlier. They were beaten back by a group called Sigil. Sigil is an anti-Immortal group who wants to return life to how it was before the Immortals came to power. There’s also an optional scene where Kyrie and Reiner discuss Reiner’s history before he became an Arbiter Captain. He was a street urchin who fell in love with a woman named Alicia. Something happened to her that encouraged Riener to change his life around. From a lowly thief to a noble Arbiter without a group to command. This scene occurs because the two are from here.
Next up is the second temple to make Kyrie (storyline) stronger and to help Anadine, but we’ll do that...
...tomorrow!
Who is Sigil? How peaceful are they in their ambitions of freedom? My country was just attacked from within, so I'm kinda wary of terrorism. I wonder how long until we see Mercier again? Man, there’s a lot of things going on in the game! Well done, assuming they’re all resolved! Hopefully, I’ll figure out how to get more than two battles in at some point.
