She's level 5 right now, where everyone else at the end of this chapter is level 13, or in Garcia's case, 14. Damn the low exp gain for staves. Of all things, staff exp gain is what I miss most right now from Awakening.
Chapter 7 - Waterside Renvall
◊: Finished.
Base: Purchased a new iron sword for Franz, and then sold a few things that I wouldn't be needing to get some spare cash, since we are presently a bit low on funds.
Eirika: Hung back, as usual, although when I accidentally had Josh send a sword to the convoy instead of a pure water, she helped him get it back. Seized once Murray fell.
Party: Mostly traveled together throughout the whole of this invasion. Joshua split off from the main group to deal with a mage and fighter north of where everyone started, while the rest of the group slowly pushed forward, drawing out foes one by one (purposefully seeking counterattacks, so that Natasha could reap the benefits). The reached the southeastern bend when Joshua caught up to them, and he and Franz dealt with a couple mercenaries while Garcia headed northeast to smash the ballistician and his fighter body guard (proccing two 2% crits as well, like a boss). Franz and Neimi killed the soldiers guarding the bridge to Renvall, and then Neimi lured out the archers near Murray, thus cleaning up the remainder of the foes.
Supports: One this chapter, being Natasha and Franz (C).
- Franz: Sister Natasha.
- Natasha: Hello, Franz. How are you doing?
- Franz: I'm doing fine, thank you. Everything is fine. And you look like you're doing well, too. I'm relieved.
- Natasha: Yes, but it's all thanks to everyone's care and concern, really. I'm grateful for all the attention everyone has paid to my safety. That goes for you, too, Franz.
- Franz: Oh, pshaw, Sister Natasha. I am just a pawn, really. I don't do much...
- Natasha: You are too modest, Franz. I'm telling you the truth.
- Franz: Thank you.
- Natasha: By the way, that's a very interesting satchel you have.
- Franz: Huh?
- Natasha: It's not military issue, is it? I haven't seen any of the other cavaliers carrying one like it.
- Franz: Oh, this old thing? To tell you the truth, I made it myself.
- Natasha: Really?
- Franz: Yes. This pouch holds a skin of water, and this pocket is for food. There's also a pocket for herbs... I can find everything very quickly. Oh, and I've also fixed it so that it won't shake about while I'm riding. It's easy to carry on one shoulder or sling over both. And it goes with everything.
- Natasha: That's nice! You're so handy.
- Franz: Thank you. It's...probably my only redeeming trait. Uh... Would you like one? I can make one for you.
- Natasha: Really? That would be wonderful. But...are you sure?
- Franz: Yes, of course. No problem.
- Natasha: Thank you, Franz.
Murray: Franz fought him, and they spent three rounds trading blows, Franz missing one of his strikes (5 hits, 6 total), and dodging two of Murrays (1 hit, 3 total).
Afterwards: Everyone enters the castle, and Eirika and Seth stumble upon Orson. Seth wonders where Ephraim is, but Eirika is too worried for Orson's immediate safety, and asks how everything is at the moment. Orson explains that he barely escaped, and notes that Ephraim may or may not be unharmed. He then leads us deeper into the castle to find Ephraim.
Up Next: It's a Trap, where, well... need I say more?
Comment Question: Since he's the highest in level (if not by much), what would you guys like me to promote Garcia into?
