The NPCs pulled through for me because I didn’t know if I would need the ship to get to my next destination. I need to go to a location that I had passed while Chocobo riding. I could have gotten there faster if I hopped on Cid’s airship and snagged a big yellow bird to ride down but with Gordon back in the party I needed to get him up to snuff. With a party member below 1000 HP I needed to build up the supplies again. While Gordon will never consider himself the warrior that Scott was he is fairly quick and scores the first strike often. I’m going to build his magic abilities though I didn’t have much luck with the sleep spell he’s going to be an asset when it comes to healing. While facing the Behemoth he wasn’t dealing damage as well as the others so I had him heal Guy with Cure. Once the large monster was taken care of the Emperor has the guards capture the party. Next time the party will escape and hopefully find Hilda, the real one this time.
