Imma survivor!

So finally; finished grinding, stocked up on items and fucked off West to find some Astos dude who'd put the elven prince in coma. Didn't find Astos, found the ruins of a castle instead... residents consisted of a king who claimed he needed a crown to restore the castle which Astos stole and took to a cave to the south...

So off I went to the cave in which I got very very very lost but SOMEHOW, with all healing resources FLAT OUT found the crown and managed to get the FUCK out with all party members STILL ALIVE.

So off I struggled back to the ruined castle to give the king back his crown in order make the castle all prettiful again only to encounter a hideous plot twist...

So I faced off with Astos who immediately decided 'I want that bitch dead!' and used a spell called 'reaper' on Ashley, killing him/her/it... so err yeah, fair play, bye bye all means of healing this already broken party, the bitch then started nuking the fuck out of the rest of my party with high powered shit killing Fabio in the process. I managed to use Gordon's magic to finish him off before the on-slaught could continue. Now with no means of healing, I had to crawl back to the village near where the elven prince's castle is, I just managed to somehow, I'm sure Gordon and Rogan have benefited from the experience of carrying around two dead party members, feels nice to now have a fully functional party again! -_-

Where's the 'revert to easy mode' button? ;-;
