You and your 1 ranged ass are about to learn why you and your goons shouldn't have screwed with Altea.
Chapter 17 - Star and Savior: Finished.
Base: Barst is reclassed into a warrior, as planned, to cover that final faction of bow users that we hadn't covered. Some finagling is done with the inventory, and soon the army is ready to storm the castle.
Marth: Unlocked the door leading to the throne room, and bought out the secret shops supply of bows (three Killer bows and three Longbows), before seizing.
Julian: Swiped some sweet loot, including a Secret Book, Killer Bow, Dracoshield, and of course the oh-so-coveted Master Seal. Everything else was just stuff to be sold, including the junk the other two thieves took before they were killed.
Barst & Ogma: Swept the castle of all auxiliary foes who weren't in the throne room, Ogma hunting the manaketes and Barst cleaning up the mooks in the treasure room so that Julian could loot in peace.
Navarre: Helped Barst out a bit, but mostly just chilled, until Julian gave him a Master Seal, which promoted him into the fourth and final sniper. He then joined up with the main assault group and fed on the reinforcements that Wolf blocked up to get some much needed levels.
Gordin, Norne, Wolf, Sedgar, Jeorge, & Jake: Took care of the throne room once a door key was sniped off of a thief and Marth unlocked the door with it. They laid waste to all of the main guards, and then Wolf blocked a chokepoint that completely stopped the incoming reinforcements. He held them there to allow Navarre to kill them easily to catch up with the others in experience, and then all that remained was to kill Morzas.
Morzas: Alleged killer of Marth's mother Liza, and present squatter on the throne of Altea. For the cruelty to his liege, Gordin took care of this magic lizard with four turns and two criticals worth of steel-tipped arrows embedded into the Mage-dragons flesh.
Levels: Gordin 9; Norne 8; Ogma 8; Barst 6; Navarre 3, finally a sniper! Wolf 13; Sedgar 11; Jeorge 7, his weakness is starting to become rather evident, though he hasn't become an out-an-out liability as of yet; Jake 12.
Up Next: A detour to an abandoned castle, where we shall "inadvertently" shoot an unfortunate man, and deal with the castles eccentric design.
