Thanks, and NP.

Soren was my most powerful character, and, while his Defense is low (9 Defense is not good against laguz), his Speed let him dodge most hits, and I gave him Jill's Laguzguard. Nephenee was my most powerful physical attacker, and she had the Knight Ward to boost her Def to 22, allowing her to solo over to the Statue Fragment area. She got surrounded due to a slight mistake right before she reached there, but I sent Ike over as a distraction (he was level 20), and he pulled one of the laguz away (and a couple others had ended their transformation time) from her long enough for them to grab it together. Volke started at the bottom left of the area and moved to the left 1 square short of his max range on the first move. That grabbed the Guard. Then move his full distance to the top, and he'll grab the Silver Blade, then went to the side to get the Coin, and finally travelled all along the bottom of the screen until he reached the right side and headed up to get the White Gem (since Lethe and Stefan weren't be lucky enough to get it). Soren starts out at the top left area, and moving 1 Square left and the rest up gets him to the Shine area, which he got. Then his full movement to the right next turn grabbed him the Physic (Soren seemed to have a 50-50 chance on the Shine, but I got lucky with the Physic). Mordecai followed, Smiting Gatrie up to the Boots, and carrying Soren's weapons. Most of the laguz focused on Soren, with Gatrie as the secondary target. I had originally ignored Gatrie due to his terrible movement of 1 in the desert, but, by making him a General (extra 1 move in Desert!) and combining him with Mordecai's Smite, he was able to reach the Boots and was lucky enough to get them. Oh, and Ike picked up the Coin near the starting area, not that that was a terribly important item to get. And Lethe jumped up to recruit Stefan.

There, clear as mud, right? I'll make a JPG of my movements/starting placement and send it to you if you want.

Oh, and I didn't use my Knights because they had crummy movement and not enough Def (Gatrie had crummy movement, but Def to compensate), I didn't use Ilyana because she wasn't a Sage yet and I was afraid she'd die even with Shade, since she didn't have stats quite as uber as Soren's or the Laguzguard, and I didn't use Boyd or the swordmasters due to too low defense.
