Unfortunately, I lost half the log to this session, so unless someone had the insight to make a backup, the most I can provide is a synopsis, like Hater did.
Stage 2 Continues:
The party buys a revival item from Reisen.
A little backtracking is done to pick up Nazrin's spellbook, which bestows a resistance to physical attacks.
The party travels in the direction of the Youkai Mountain / Mayohiga.
They meet Mamizou, who functions as a traveling merchant in the game. Unfortunately, the players are too strapped for cash to do very much.
Kaeru really really wanted to snuggle with an optional boss Beef Gate standing in the way of the Youkai Mountain, regardless of how not alive she would have been afterward.
They come across an abandoned shack en route to Mayohiga, and ransack it for EXP and Layla's Grimoire. Kaeru manages to reduce the desk inside to dust.
They enter Mayohiga, which triggers the doors to close, of course. They do a bit of exploring.
With the supposed help of Nazrin's Grimoire, the party finds lots of treasure, including money, items, and three new spell books belonging to Stage 1 bosses.
The party briefly encounters a Yukkuri Chen in battle; they decide to do nothing for two turns, allowing it to summon help and to buff the enemies' strength.
They also find a vase, the theft of which prompted Chen to rush out and attack the player.
Chen was, apparently, an inordinately difficult fight, due to her over-reliance on charged attacks. She even managed to reflect a casting of Suzu's Star Maelstrom attack using Pentagram Crest :3
Yo, players, get this: She only had 400 HP :getdown:
(Not counting that spot of healing she did on herself, of course.)
But she went down in the end, and without capitalization on her weakness to the Earth element.
After selling the vase, the party will have 3,000 yen. Is spending 2,000 of it and getting a weakness to Physical worth being able to analyze the enemy statistics?
Next time, on Gensokyo Quest:
Hakugyokurou is dead ahead! Better be prepared for a long climb!
