We arrive at the outskirts of Leonster castle. The castle is heavily guarded by numerous ballista stationed around the castle walls. We worry about our ability to storm the castle and think of if there are some alternative ways to do this.

This map is... not really what I was expecting it to be from the preview. There's a small scattering of enemies and... that's actually all we face. I thought the houses around the area would provide me some nice items, but instead they provide some alternative plans to help get past the ballista. Of which... no I don't want to shovel out 20000G or sacrifice the lives of the Leonster townfolk to do this, so I leave the area fairly disappointed.

I beat the map simply by ferrying a few characters up the left side cliff, and going in to defeat the boss. That's it. That's the chapter. At least Osian hit 20 now, so I can class change him.

I can conclusively say that choosing this split route is def. not the play. You get worse characters and worse items as a result. I think it probably takes longer to get through the maps too.
