Can anyone tell me how to keep Rydia from constantly dying in the beginning of FFIV? I am going through the caves where you meet Tellah (I just bought FF Chronicles by the way) and ever since I found Rydia on up until the time that I met Tellah she's done one thing consistently... die. She can only take one to two hits and then that's it. She only has about 20 HP and usually never even gets a turn before she bites it. Cecil on the other hand takes a hit and loses 1 HP of damage. Should I just leave her down until I get to a Damacyan? Is it possible to defeat the monster at the end of the caves with just Cecil and Tellah considering the monster gets 8 turns and you get two? I know that these are a lot of questions but I am becoming very frustrated and disenchanted with this game. I've heard so many great things about it but haven't seen them yet. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
