16: A Peddler's Junk
We'll get to him shortly.
First up, however: This guy.
Y... yes...?
And here we go.
Here's a Hector!
And here's our first wolf beil. I don't know if I should be relieved or disappointed.
Soldier has a brave lance...
Save me, Florinatron!
Splat. 
And Bartre took the thief. I can't have my vulneraries stolen! ...or worse yet, the body ring.
I still haven't used that, by the way. I don't think Nino needs it if she keeps going as she has, but I'm also not convinced that it'd help Guy enough. He's just so far behind! Using it now would put him at like... one effective speed with a handaxe, and by the time he has the speed to reach four, I don't think we're seeing many 0-speed enemies.
Now I know how the enemies feel. Nnnnghhhhh stupid Hector why are you so tanky
Nope, no way around it, Florinabot it is.
Splat!
Someone oneshot a snag. The other one dropped, too.
help
Well okay so Legault is awful but the pegasus is worse. Next snag!
oh god what
Merlinus!!
All right. Fine.
Another problem with BadCon Tendency is none of my axe users can rescue this asshat! So I have to use Nino.
Next attempt, we're going in a little more aggressively.
There you are!
Nils is a little tankier than the merchant.
there's two of them!
Random monk from the left, but even Legault isn't too threatened by it.
Gotta remove these guys.
Away with you!
I love having multiple bards, it's so good.
And even more so if said bards don't fall over to a mild breeze!
Hm, nothing around here. I do very much want to grab this village, on the assumption that money rewards are still the same as in vanilla - I need some weapons that don't get all my units doubled and turbomurdered.
Gonna chance dropping Merlinus.
Florina ran into a nomad.
And then the boss came running in!
He's pretty strong! Well, or rather, Lightning is a really good spell.
More snags getting chopped. Still enemies out there!
This is not a problem.
This mage was forced to attack at close range...
He won't make that mistake again.
Next turn. Nino's really good right now.
I mean, so's Florina, but do you really need to be reminded?
Guy's ability to cross rivers is actually coming in handy!
Took a chance with Matthew. It worked out! But even then, he's still level 1. I can't believe he hasn't gained a single fucking level this far.
...I mean... I can believe it because he's bad. But still.
It was a slim lance peg so Merlinus lived. We shouldn't have a problem with this. The brigands have steels, but they're brigands.
Matthew!
And now, as a precaution, I have Merlinus surrounded in case there are pegs with weapons that actually matter.
Bartre hit the village.
Sweet, sweet money.
And the enemies can't touch him.
Matthew's still level 1.
Whereas Guy got a kill and more better. These stats are so good! It's just. You know.
And nothing moved on enemy phase. We got this!
Definitely got this.
This guy was hiding somewhere off-map, presumably.
I don't believe you, Matthew is looking awfully sketchy.
I did not need that mental image!
...nor this one. Still, that's the end of this map, and we're back on track for the main story. Next up on Ninian's Bizarre Randomizer...
We finally get a healer!
