Party: Cecil, lv. 12, Rydia, lv. 2
Window Color: Green

Okay so we are all rested up. Which means SHOPPING TIME. After some equipment buying, I leave town and go northeast-ish and come across an old man with a funky hairdo. He calls me crazy and sends me back to town. So I return to town and Cecil's lady friend Rosa is in some strangers house, sick with the desert fever. Luckily the strange man in the room with her informs me that I need a sand ruby from the Antlion's Cave to cure the desert fever. I check the bookshelf next to him which says Desert Fever Cure: Sand Ruby, or something equally as obvious. Suddenly the wise man who told me this doesn't seem so wise anymore.

So I return to the cave thingy to the northeast and the man who previously called me crazy has decided he needs my help fighting an octopus thing. He needs to get through the cave to get to Damcyan, because his daughter eloped with a bard, which are known for their treachery and bad influence. So back to town for some more shopping. Now that we have finished with that, we head through the cave. And head through the cave some more. And some more. And some more. The old man, Tellah, and Cecil talk about Rydias magic potential over a save point as she sleeps. And then more cave stuff. Then we get out of the cave......... and enter another cave. Conveniently enough, this cave has Hades style equipment for Cecil just laying around all over the place! We continue until we come across a big water fall

Boss Fight: Octomammoth

This fight is pretty easy, just attack with Cecil, Thunder with Tellah, and Chocobo with Rydia, and all is well. We go through the waterfall and out of the cave (finally).

We walk about out merry way and LOOK, a castle . Oh and some airships. Oh and... okay nevermind. So it was nice of them to wait for my arrival before destroying the place. SO we go into the castle and people are dead and treasure chests are open and it is sadness all around. Tellah finds the bard that his daughter left with and gets into a fight. He calls him a spoony bard and I laugh. What's even better is instead of using his more powerful magic, he's there hitting him with his staff and doing all of 18 damage at a time. Eventually Tellah's daughter tells him to stop, and then she dies.

Prince Bardigan (that's my name for him) cries and tells the party about Golbez, the sudden psycho leader of the Red Wings, who just destroyed the castle to get the crystal. Tellah rages and leaves the party, determined to kill Golbez by himself. Bardigan cries and Cecil gives him a slap to snap him out of it. He then joins my party.
