Part 72: St. Murond Temple

So, pleasant things are going on in the notVatican, right?


...Oh.




Vormav pulls his sword from the High Priest's body.

: If you'd confessed all, I'd have kept you alive. I didn't mean to take such drastic measures, but I don't have much time left.
: Wha, What do you mean?
: I was going along with you to get the Zodiac Stones... But now that the kid took most of them, it was all for nothing.
: S...Spare me...


Funeral reaches for Vormav, desperate for help, anything.



: Now, if you value your life, tell me where the entrance to Murond is!!
: Orbonne...A sealed Magic Square at the bottom of the underground library.
: How do I break the seal?
: I don't know...it might be written in the scriptures.



: I'm through with you.


Vormav and Kletian leave.

: Please... spare me.


Rofel has... different ideas.


Now back to Ramza's group, outside the impressive building with no idea of what's going on inside.



: What business do you have at Murond Temple? Identify yourself!!
: My name is Ramza, Ramza Beoulve! I'm here for my sister, Alma Beoulve, who was kidnapped by Vormav!


Good gravy they've reduced "being Ramza" to a heretical act. Soon they'll call him the root of all evil.

: What a fool to come so openly! I will execute your sentence here and now!!



The only real interesting thing here is the Summoner's Dragon Rod. It has one more WP than the Wizard Rod, but not the elemental boosts or MA increase that made previous rods worth using. Remember, at no point did I have either a Rod or a Poison Rod.


Including this fight, there are 9 story battles left. This is one of two that isn't a boss fight.


I thought the church would hire people who actually believed in the religion. Guess not.

One of the panels here has a Hi-Ether as the common find and a Hi-Potion as the rare, which is backwards but not really worth going through the effort of finding.


And we have multiple people who just really don't give a hoot about the supernatural.


The Javelin II, Jump, and Sleep are best friends. They, combined, make hitting the damage cap a breeze.


And a Kikuichimoji later and the battle is over! This battle is really heavy on mages and of them the Summoner could be the only real threat.




Hey! Ramza got hit once so they replenished my X-Potion for me.
