Update 08
The end is near.
I'm not sure I've ever fought any battles here before...
Olan! 
No! Don't kill Olan!
Oh, good. He's not going to kill Olan.
He kills Balmalfula instead.
Dolbodar Swamp. It's a pretty small area. And it doesn't look familar, so I'm still not sure I've ever fought any battles here.
Before this one, anyway.
Ah well. Back to Igros! It's another 2 Battles In A Row thing, so utilize that second save file!
Also, someone needs to let them know Larg is dead...
On the way there, I ran into a group of foes on Mandalia Plains. Well, actually, it was just 2 foes.
A double punch from Kheldarn and an Ice4 made quick work of them.
Remember how that worked out last time?
...
Things have started to go bad here...
Finn had Ice4 queued. Kheldarn killed Dycedarg, he transformed into Adramelk. And then Ice4 went off. Adramelk guarded, but Kheldarn ate it.
The Fire2 didn't do much damage. Adramelk Confused Kestrel, Shadow, and Finn. Finn spent the rest of the battle running away, and using Accumulate.
Kodo and Finn were the only two left alive. Seal petrified Kodo.
And then Kheldarn became a Chest.
Poach it!
Finn wastes no time tossing out the big spells. Kheldarn was already dead, so no accidental killing of him this time.
However, he almost took out Kodo with it.
Kestrel hits him with a Holy.
Finn hits him with a Flare.
Kheldarn hits him with Fists.
Shadow hits him with Fists.
And I win. Hooray for a quick grind of Jump +2, and Germinas Boots, letting me get up there faster!
Well that seems ominous...
Poor Kheldarn.
This time, it's 3 battles in a row. The 2nd Save File is seeing a lot of action today.
This battle sucks. Between the Summoner summoning, and the Priest raising the Summoner, Kheldarn was killed 3 times.
I had Fire4 queued up. Carbunkle casts Reflect. The good news is Fire4 can't be Reflected. The bad news is that Reflect prevents it from doing any damage.
Kestrel and Shadow were the only ones who didn't die at least once. I spent enough time reviving the other 3 that a couple of chests dropped.
This was in the other one.
Finally!
These guys?
They had no chance. I once again One Turn Two Punch'd my way to victory.
This third fight, though, was a pain in the ass.
Zalbag has good defenses. Only one punch hit, for ~150 damage, and his Speed Save triggered. Bleh.
And then he hits Kheldarn with Blood Suck. 
Kodo's Earth Slash did a little damage, but Shadow's Wave Fist was guarded against.
Finn targets Zalbag with Fire4.
And Kestrel queues up a Holy.
Finn and Kheldarn get nuked by the demons.
I was expecting to get a Game Over here, but then Kestrel's Holy nuked Zalbag. 
I'm skipping Deep Dungeon, so the next udpate starts the beginning of the end.
