First, to clear something up, when Fran attacked last time, it was not at Basch, it was instead of Basch! Everyone would expect Basch to attack again, then be all WTF, Fran attacked this time!?
Gilgamesh is gone to buy more dog food. Basch traded the Sledgehammer for a Golden Axe.
"How the hell do those fools steal our pelts and hides when we're still alive? And how do we actually DROP a second one after we're defeated!?" a Worgen asks.
"And how do we carry SWORDS around that get dropped when we're beaten!?" A Cactite adds as it drops a Broadsword.
The Dark Elemental floats in.
"Well, they finally got me. It's funny, I had to chase them down the hall... oh well, at least Master Vorres appeared to help out. They got him as well, and took his trophy!" the elemental explains.
"I heard they actually took on Zodiark!" the Alpha Worgen scoffs.
"Yeah, but they got their asses handed to them on a platter of Darkja!" Hecteyes exclaims.
"And they were running around the Great Crystal, where they got me and my trophy." Crystal Knight adds.
"And the little blonde girl! The one with a Masamune and deadly combo attack! She can exploit our weaknesses!!" a Baknamy adds in. "She was pretty quick to figure out I hate Ice!"
The Gnoma Entite glides in.
"Looks like more clear weather in the Westersand. I guess I won't be going out... damn Earth Tyrant had to fall." it says.
The monsters go out for another whack at the party. Except the Gnoma Entite, since there's no Sandstorm...
Will the party ever defeat Zodiark? Stupid Darkja!!
