"An excellent blow. / You fight valiantly, miss. / Let us proceed east."

[Gaterhyme]

Bärbel gave Sasaki a slight nod before turning to Barry.

"So it wasn't him. Just a monster wearing the priest's face."

And they'd never have known if not for the gloating. She didn't know how she felt about that as she took back to the skies.

[Solymr]

Barry nodded solemny, despite his inebriation.

: Aye, Lukan was no traitor. Bu' we still lost a good man.

He poured some drink from his bottle on the ground next to the robe before turning towards the other front.

: Nae mind that fer now, ther's work ta dae. Drinks are oan me after!

Jonathan to Q3. Hit Skeleton A with Quake

[xelada]

Amadeo keeps his eyes tightly on the necromancer, and speaks to Kay over his shoulder:

"There's nothing to learn. It's the Devil himself acting through that person. Only the Lord can deliver us from death. Any other method is folly at best and mockery such as this at worst."

He clutches the reliquary in his hand tightly, ready to allow charis to flow through it into the material world.

"Luckily, the Lord can deliver us from death."

One must learn what serpent you are dealing with to know how to cure it's venom, to keep it from harming your flock, to find it's nest, or how best to kill it outright. Do you not agree those are all useful things?

Upon seeing her compatriots finishing off the Necromancer Kay stops her advance towards the fell caster.
How impressive. I practically blink and they've already killed it. Would have been nice to have seen the magic close up, maybe I would have been able to...
No. No. Protecting the various innocents of Pazin comes first... and anyway, there will likely be plenty more chances to see such magic up close.

We are dealing with either something that can puppet an unwilling body; or something who's dark whisperings can not just be lead a man of the cloth astray, but make a full about face... and of those two possibilities I'm not sure which is more worrying...
As for the poor man who was host to that wretched... parasite... May his soul rest in peace, and his memory ever be a blessing.

Go to P3 and Copy Jonathan's Quake

Victory Condition: Activate Boss Mode and defeat the Boss hiding in the Blightfog.

• Introducing the Blightfog mechanic: When a player character including Vincenza or Leo end their move in a Blightfog-covered tile, as in any of the tiles in column AK or AL on this map, the map changes completely, all enemies on the map are removed (without giving EXP) and players are repositioned as the Boss approaches. This is called Boss Mode. Boss Modes starts with a new Player Phase as if no one has moved this turn, but the Boss always acts first when activating Boss Mode, so come prepared.
• The Elite Necromancer on the left-hand has the Darkforce special. As long as an enemy unit with Darkforce is alive on the map, Blightfog becomes impassable (and thus you cannot activate Boss Mode). Darkforce units may also have interactions with other units; For example, the Skeleton Warriors will reanimate again and again until the Necromancer is dealt with.
• Fire tiles count as impassable terrain. Characters may spend a main action to extinguish an adjacent fire tile. The excess water also instantly defeats Animated Flames adjacent to the extinguished fire tile, granting EXP as normal.
• Palisades like those on U5 and W6 count as Forest-style defensive terrain (2 MOV to enter, 4 MOV to enter if mounted, +1 DR, +15 Evade). Skeleton Warriors won't enter Palisades, Animated Fires can convert them into a fire tile by ending their turn on one.

[TricMagic]

Leo goes to S1 and strike Skeleton B
Bernhard goes to U6 to put out the Fire.

"You will not burn our town. Rundown as it might be, it's ours. Not any demon's property." Though he speaks to none but the skeletons ahead around him, his statement holds true. Paizin will not fall today.

[Gaterhyme]

Bärbel leaned forward on her mount as they soared to the east on light wings.

"Everything's handled back there," she called to the others as the two of them swooped down, her lance outstretched to bury itself into one of the skeletons that had menaced Sigurd. "We're back to join the front!"

S-4, Iron Lance Skeleton Warrior Sword C.

[adzi]

...They got him so quickly! - Jahid is somewhat unnerved by the sight of mighty Sigurd falling under the avalanche of blows.

"I-I'm gonna make space, someone help him...!"

Step to S4, attack the skeleton C targetting RES... unless that skeleton is no more after Bärbel's assault, then move to V4 and attack Skeleton archer B.

[TricMagic]

Bernhard takes a step back from the assault to lick his wounds, confident in those around.

"Take a sip of this. Should get you back up."

S5, use Vuln on Sigurd.

"The Devil is an old foe, whose trickery is known, and against whom we already have the the perfect weapon in Christ. He can puppet the unwilling to a lesser extent, but the kind of full corruption that we saw here requires convincing over a long period. He must have latched onto some small sin this poor priest had, and had not absolved himself of, which at his urging became greater and greater until he gave himself to the devil. It's unfortunate, but this is why it's important to confess and purify your sins before they become too great."

As Kay leaves to face the skeletons, Amadeo turns to the fallen robe.

"May the Lord be merciful upon you. You knew not what you were doing."

He then runs to the fight as well, ending up behind Vincenza.

"Hunter! You're wounded, drink this!"

Q4. Use Vulnerary on Vincenza.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Sasaki flashsteps to R6.
