Now back to your regularly scheduled Cold Steel IV Act 1!
More Parm. We finally run into Pablo, who tells us that Tatiana is headed for the Liberlian border to meet someone, which probably means we're going to visit Hamel again. Pablo wants us to teach him how to play Vantage Masters, but yet conveniently we've lost all our good cards. What a shame. Pablo tells us that some more black Pleroma Grass was spotted nearby, and when we get there, we find some new ruins that weren't there before. The party points out that this Draco Shrine is similar to the ruins they found on Bryonia Island. The boss fight here is a huge pain because everything he does can cause petrification, and I don't have a lot of options for healing it at the moment, but I thankfully had a petrification proof item on Juna and I eventually prevailed. Afterwards, we get a weird flashback to who I think is Black Alberich talking to the Jaeger King, Leo, and Xenonidas about a proposed deal. Turns out only New Class VII saw it and Randy didn't.
Next we get on the main track to head toward the Liberl border. They tease us with the ability to take the bus like they do in the Crossbell games, but with quick travel everywhere and not just inside cities, there's really no need for a bus here anyway.
