Murond Death City
I had an extra Black Robe but not an extra Power Sleeve; Ramza is stuck with a Carabini Mail. The ninjas get to move before any of my characters, so they do a little damage, but on Orlandu's first move he one-shots the boss.
You know, I could resolve to just not use Orlandu. On my next playthrough, I'm probably not going to use any of the special characters, just Ramza and the normal randomly-named people. At this point, though, nobody else is high enough in level, so I'm just gonna use him 'til the end.
Lost Sacred Precincts
Balk inflict's Don't Act on Ramza. A chemist shoots Orlandu. Beowulf hits Balk with Drain. Agrias hits him with Carve Model. Orlandu injures him with Lightning Stab. Balk retreats, gaining HP from moving, and misses Orlandu with Arm Aim. One of the dragons kills Agrias with Triple Thunder. Stella's Demi spell misses Balk. Damn! Now I have to cross the bridge to reach him.
The Chemist gives Balk an X-Potion. Time to kill dragons. Orlandu hits two with Lightning Stab, killing one. Balk shoots Stella, who Regens. One dragon kills Beowulf with Triple Flame, and another kills Stella with Triple Thunder. Oh god, did I really screw up this fight?
A Dark Behemoth uses Sudden Cry on Orlandu, killing him. Yep. Yep I did screw it up.
The Chemist and Balk each shoot Ramza, and then one of the dragons kills him with Triple Flame. Whoops.
All right, mulligan.
Lost Sacred Precincts, Take 2
Balk shoots Ramza. Good - none of that Arm Aim crap. The chemist shoots Ramza and kills him. Triple Flame kills Orlandu. Agrias kills the Dark Behemoth with Crush Punch. Balk is overconfident hops onto my side of the crack and shoots Stella. Beowulf Raises Ramza, and Stella's Raise spell MISSES Orlandu.
Triple Flame kills Agrias. The chemist shoots and kills Ramza. Balk kills Stella. Triple Flame kills Beowulf.
Oh man. This is annoying. An attack that presumably is supposed to hit 3 times in 3 random squares should not hit the 1 square my character is in twice EVERY time.
Lost Sacred Precincts, Take 3
I put Orlandu and Agrias in the first Squad this time so they can actually maybe hit Balk.
Balk seems to not move forward as much as usual, and he shoots Orlandu. Orlandu's Holy Explosion damages Balk and kills a dragon. The chemist raises the dragon with a Phoenix Down. Finally I get lucky and a Triple Flame attack doesn't hit Orlandu at all. But it doesn't really matter, because Agrias decides Orlandu needs to take one for the team - her Holy Explosion kills both Orlandu and Balk in one go.
Well there you have it. The difference between Orlandu/Agrias and Not Orlandu/Agrias. Potentially frustrating battle becomes cake.
