No One to Blame But the Toroians

Results of trial run: TPK.

Details: Lost the Magus Sisters fight. Don't have any single dominant cause for the loss. We ran out of Hi-Potions. Tellah's reflect casting killed a lot of allies. Things just didn't go very well.

There's a few different ways we could solve this:
  • Teach Tellah/Cecil to cast healing spells on injured party members that don't have Reflect at the moment.
  • Level grind before the fight.
  • Come up with a source of more Hi-Potions.
I really, really want to avoid level grinding for the mid-game boss streak. They're all beatable without it. I'd also like to avoid commands in battle that take more than one condition; I'm sure I'll want them eventually, but I'd like to see how far I can get just allowing one condition. And finally, Hi-Potions can't be purchased at this stage in the game, so I'm stuck with the supply I find in treasure chests or from enemy drops. Farming them would essentially amount to level grinding.

Solution: After reviewing the atlas for sources of Hi-Potions, I made a discovery; we were never actually looting the room in Toroia with like 16 treasure chests, and it has 2 more Hi-Potions. Added that to the command queue after beating the Dark Elf. That should give us a bit more survivability for that fight.
