Prologue: Welcomes and information
Hello, all who are currently reading this! This is the opening page of what will be the storage place for all my liveblogs of the Fire Emblem series of games. In here, I will be updating chapter by chapter as I play through the games and hopefully make those updates as fun to read as possible!
The next page will be a Table of Contents, since this will eventually get fairly large, and it will make categorizing which games are being covered in which liveblog installments much easier.
Continue forth onto the next page, and hopefully enjoy your time reading!

You didn't open the chests? Well, you were right about them being the trap; I believe three contain dragons that pop out and stand on an open square next to the chest (no idea what happens if all spaces are filled).

Wait three of them contain dragons?!? I thought they'd just spit fire or something! I mostly left Astol behind due to party limitations, but I'm now really glad that I didn't risk that. I didn't even prepare for dragons in the slightest, so that could have screwed me hard.

Man, am I disappointed you didn't try to go for the chests. Are you sure you're playing this blind? :P
Also, it's not 3 of them that contain Mamkutes: it's randomized. You either get an elixir or a Mamkute.

I almost brought Astol, but the party limitations (Percival is sort of the odd one out in my group, so he has to get benched for stuff like this) and the stuffed convoy (I had to resort to giving some people leftover items) made bringing a thief to get treasure a bit less appealing. I also knew that these gaiden chapters liked to screw with you with traps, so I didn't want to risk it, since they just sort of put them in front of you, daring you to open them. Suddenly, silence druid seems a lot more devious with that in mind...
Randomization just makes it better if you know in advance, since it's like "awesome healing item to prepare for endgame, or bloodthirsty flame spewing reptile that can crush most of my people in a couple hits? Might as well try it—-HOLY SHIT IT WAS A DRAGON!"

Why DIDN'T you train any dark mages on this run, may I ask?

Mostly because I already had a fairly large team at the time that Ray appeared, and didn't want to put in too many people, and also due to having a lot of frail people, and not wanting to have to cover for one more. Lugh, Ellen, and Clarine (though she's a non issue since he insane speed and luck, plus her supports with Dieck and Rutger make her the ultimate dodge tank) are all really fragile, and I'd rather not throw another glass cannon into the mix, since I could probably only fit one, maybe two people max into the party.
