Okay, let's play some more Cold Steel IV Act 1 Chapter 2!
Once we arrive in the Eerie Woods, the rest of the party joins Kurt. I decided to try to fight the cryptid for the heck of it. Turned out not to be a great idea since it was level 100, but lesson learned! Time to move on to the 2nd phase of the labyrinth! This really isn't much of a labyrinth though, but I don't mind that it's easier than the previous Cold Steel progressive dungeons. There's just one floor and then a boss on the next. This boss has a move named Squall, so I'm immediately a fan. Regardless, it's not a difficult fight, and that's all for the day. I get an S rank for the chapter, so I know I didn't miss any AP, at least!
Our next stop is Lamare, meaning Raquel, the town Ash was raised in, is nearby. He plans to wear a disguise so no one will recognize him. Rose mumbles something to herself about a shrine but not being able to use it yet when I talk to her before leaving. One of the townsfolk says that Rose plans to work together with the Septian Church, stating that they've had problems in the past but they've been at peace for 200 years now, so that's interesting.
