While Wolfy and Samwise deal with #2.

A Black Monk takes a chunk out of Ron's health with a double attack (I missed capturing the first hit), but Ron counters.

Cluny has come a long way from being the useless liability he was when he first joined.

Ron isn't the only one who can go postal on enemies.
![](22-SF2_1079.png)
![](23-SF2_1080.png)
The new enemies are fairly nasty, but still easier than Kraken tentacles.
![](24-SF2_1085.png)
![](25-SF2_1086.png)
I don't know what the deal is. Ron was never this awesome in my previous playthroughs.
![](26-SF2_1087.png)
Shaggy gets rid of another of the golems.
![](27-SF2_1088.png)
![](28-SF2_1089.png)
While Cluny and Harvey take out the second Gargoyle.
![](29-SF2_1090.png)
![](30-SF2_1093.png)
Nigel kills a black monk in one swing, earning himself level 20.
![](31-SF2_1094.png)
![](32-SF2_1095.png)
Cherry packs a decent punch, herself.
![](33-SF2_1096.png)
![](34-SF2_1097.png)
Unfortunately, her defense is a tad low. I got cocky and it cost her.
![](35-SF2_1098.png)
Ron cleans up the mess.
![](36-SF2_1099.png)
![](37-SF2_1100.png)
Nigel clears a Master Mage out of his way.
![](38-SF2_1102.png)
![](39-SF2_1104.png)
While Cluny and Harvey take care of the other one across the hall.
![](40-SF2_1105.png)
![](41-SF2_1106.png)
Ron and Nigel get rid of the final golem.
![](42-SF2_1109.png)
![](43-SF2_1110.png)
Knox kills the last gargoyle.
![](44-SF2_1111.png)
![](45-SF2_1112.png)
And finally, Harvey and Cluny deal with the last arrow launcher, bringing the battle to an end.

![](48-SF2_1115.png)
The old man attempts to unseal the door with a spell, but it has no effect.
![](3-Scholar1.gif)
And with that, the old man wanders off...
Inside the chests of the Ancient Hall, we find...
![](49-SF2_1117.png)
![](50-SF2_1116.png)
Power Water and a strange Wooden Panel.
For now, we head back to Ribble. Inspecting the tree in the middle of town, we find something odd...
![](51-SF2_1118.png)
If we use the Wooden Panel on it...
![](52-SF2_1119.png)
A hidden passageway appears!
![](53-SF2_1121.png)
Inside it is another ancient ruin.
![](54-SF2_1120.png)
Where we find the Achilles Sword!
