Bariaus Hill:
I took advantage of some of the propostions, and got into a few random battles as a result. Brought along the girls to get their levels up, which worked out pretty well. The next fight saw more people trying to capture Mustadio, and wow, Agrias is zealous to defend him. A lot more eager than I would be, that's for sure.
This battle was pretty easy. I gave Reeve Arrow Guard so nobody would bother him while he provides support fire, and Bartz is now a chemist so he can throw healing items around. All I have him do otherwise is Cheer Up, so it's not a big deal. It looks like enemies that are charging for an attack take more damage, and that allowed me to make easy work of the archers. I had forgotten that summon magic only affects enemies(or allies, depending on the summon). That's useful.
Cardinal Draclau is an old man and I'm pretty sure he's up to something. He talks about the Zodiac Brave Story and the stones that are legendary. I think Mustadio has one of those. I am leaving the girl guests behind to go take care of business in Goug. Fun times.

Awww yeah no more Agrias (for now). My party is pretty strong now and I haven't had much difficulty for a while. I know there will be some tough battles coming up and I'm excited for that.
