The Dread Isle notes.

Rebecca... not that good. Sain... all right, but half blind. Nomads... ****ING SPIDER-DEMONS FROM HELL.

Also, I need to remember to remove Matthew's Iron Sword. He would become approximately twice as durable without it.

Canas: AS 8, DEF 6.
Lucius: AS 11... DEF 1.

Sorry, Lucius. At this rate, you might wind up getting benched until we can rustle up a Hero Crest for your husband.
(Erk, even if I cared to use him, is a pathetic milquetoast with 6 MAG at level 9. Go marry Serra, dear. You can have magically-differently-abled children. *eyeroll*)

I'm going to see if Guy can clear out the middle island of spider-demons on his own. He has 35 crit-chance against an average cavalier.

AW, SCREW IT, WHY DID I NOT REMEMBER TO REMOVE MATTHEW'S SWORD?! Gah. I'll see if the situation is at all salvageable. Probably not, but it's fun to try.

Also, the verdict on Guy is "YES, you beautiful human being." And the answer to 'Why did I prefer Sain to Kent?' is "Because he's regularly OHKOing the Peg. Knights charging at him". ...Unfortunately, that's also the answer to 'Why did he just get assaulted by three Peg. Knights in a row, leaving him wide open for a Nomad to ride over and tell him that he had a real purdy mouth?' X( *RESTART*

I really don't want to become over-reliant on a promoted unit, because it DOES feel like I've removed the difficulty that makes HHM fun. On the other hand - it's just ludicrous cheese that I'm getting attacked in THREE directions at once. Two, I could understand. But THREE?

Sain, STOP KILLING EVERY PEG. KNIGHT THAT ATTACKS YOU. ...Wow, that has to be the first time I've ever complained about a unit being TOO effective.

Also could someone please explain what in the AI routine could possibly have made Fiora decide that the most brilliant move she could possibly make was charging a Nomad head-on? Fortunately, Priscilla was there to rescue her and salvage the situation.

What turn is this, anyway? I am deathly afraid of taking too long.

...It's turn four? It seems so much longer.

Eliwood, you impotent piece of milky toast, can you PRETEND to try to kill those Pirates? Gah. 

*checks his base stats* +1 STR, +2 SKL, +3 SPD, +6 LCK, +2 DEF, +1 RES. That is all he has gained in SEVEN levels. He may be lucky, but he's otherwise screwed!
Fine, that STR, SKL, SPD, RES level-up made things slightly saner. STILL.


Matthew sat on a forest and had two Peg. Knights and one Cavalier all miss him in a single turn. See, this is why it was an awesome thing to remove his sword. Nyah nyah nyah nyah, you can't touch this.

WHERE THE **** DID THAT NOMAD COME FROM?! I knew I should have rescued Florina! (Fortunately, I had the wisdom to use the Slim Lance the turn before, so she didn't get doubled and survived with 7/19 HP. STILL.)

Uhai Wolf Beil'd to death. Hector is now level 19... and he won't promote until The Berserker. 8D *TWITCH* What is good game balance?
STATUS REPORT:
All units alive. Orion's Bolt captured. Now if only Rebecca was a good unit. 
Fiora obtained. Weaponless Matthew far more effective than sword-wielder!Matthew.

Onto 'Prisoner of Magic'!

I should consider weaponless!Matthew sometime. In all my most recent games he's been completely useless as a fighter; I only promoted him to Assassin this game because I like how the sprite looks and didn't want his future wife Serra to be all alone.

@_@ Wow, that's a way overpowered Hector.

I'll have to try that next time I decide to consciously train Matthew.

Wow. :o Yeah, in this case it's better for people to be overleveled. I have that same thing in FE4 with my healers thanks to my love of boss abuse.
