This was the toughie on Balias Tor with the two summoners. I made my dark mage into a summoner but they didn't drop a crystal [sadface]. It didn't seem too tough in the end though; pretty nicely levelled now.
I'm still oscillating a little but gradually evening out with one foot in each world and an attitude of 'I just don't know'. The insights for the other site seem to be coming together a little. I think it'll be another month or so of fully coalescing but I will likely start meditating again today.Â
I have no more sankhara wriggling around and no notable suffering but I'm a bit tired and the body is cranky. To be expected after such a condensed insight cycle.
The plot is starting to thicken and next up we will get trapped in a loop until we can kill gafgarion who is a bit of a bitch. I'll make sure to steal his blood sword though - Ramza is gonna be a dual-wielding squire with martial arts secondary after all because that's a beast of a build.
