I went to explore a bit more to get more money and was punished for my hubris by Cairon getting infected with Red Plague because he wanted to eat from a rotting fish corpse so badly. I’m starting to think I’m actually overprepared and that I’m worrying about keeping up with the game for nothing. So yeah, I don’t know what this battle was supposed to be because not only did I resist its gimmick, but I burst it down more easily than the other bosses. The Sodden Crew also used a move called All Hands on Deck to summon a crewmate, as well as inflict… something on a party member? See, the thing is, I don’t know what All Hands On Deck is supposed to do because Cairon was targeted both times it was used and he resisted what was supposed to happen. They soon found the Sodden Crew, who was a gang of jerks that could act multiple times per turn. I’m still clearly falling behind in the meta game, which is kinda troubling.

I bought everyone some stuff, which also led to the revelation that in spite of all my upgrading, all the stuff I could buy was still low-level stuff. Ros the Occultist was today’s resident healer, especially since he has that mark that’d help out Cely the Arbalest, who really needs some friends to mark enemies to make her more effective. Now, it was a low-level mission, which immediately limited who I could and could not send out, The fact that most of the low-level heroes were bleed dependent lessened the potential pool of victims further, since the Cove enemies were resistant to bleeding and I guessed that the Sodden Crew would be the same.Ĭairon the Leper and Tinel the Hellion led the front. There’s a new boss in the Cove: the Sodden Crew, a bunch of undead sailors that I’m guessing the Ancestor screwed over, since that’s kinda how it’s been for everyone.

She rarely fights in battles but she was also the only one on the roster with a disease so I figured that I get her fixed up while I was at it.
