Quite a few changes here, and I also had to feed Roy a kill in order to get him to L4 and 7 Def. This will make it easier to manipulate Ch14/19 enemy phases, as you'll see.

Turn 1: Merlinus takes a door key from his stash and gives it to Marcus, who takes out one of the fighters near him. Thany collects Roy and equips the Slim Lance (Slim Sword lacks the mt to OHKO the knight). Thany clears up on EP

Turn 2: Marcus needs Iron Axe to kill the knight. Thany advances into the corridor. This EP allowed Marcus to counter-crit the last fighter, and Thany to dodge all the archers that attack her.

Turn 3: Drop Roy here. Marcus shifts 2 spaces to the west, after manipulating the next turn's critical.

Turn 4: Thany crits the first fighter. Marcus in this position is able to shift through more RNs, so does so to set up the enemy phase. Thany takes out the remaining fighters, deliberately misses killing the first archer which prevents the other attackers from reaching her, and chips the warrior for Str/Spd/Luk level up.

Turn 5: Slim Sword used to finish off the warrior. Marcus moves here to avoid triggering the longbow archer.

Turn 6: Roy is collected to avoid enemy phase attacks.

Turn 7: Dropping Roy here avoids both the Longbow and the Sleep Staff.

Turn 8: Roy levels off the nearby priest, for HP/Skl/Luk/Def/Res (the Def increase being the most important). Marcus swaps the Angelic Robe for the Wyrmslayer. Thany rescues Roy.

Turn 9: Marcus opens the door and blocks one spawn point. Thany nukes the priest with Silver Lance.

Turn 10: Roy is dropped so Thany can crit. On the EP, Thany is hurt, but responds with a Silver Lance crit + hit to finish off Aine in one round. She also nets Str/Skl/Spd/Luk level up.

Turn 11: It's faster having Roy move adjacent to Thany while she blocks the spawn point, rather than having him rescued. Roy uses the Angelic Robe here.

Turns 12-19: Turn skipping to avoid the gaiden.

Turn 20: Roy heads thronewards. Reinforcements appear from the south.

Turn 21: Seize

Here is where a large bulk of the support turns happen, putting me ever closer to Thany C Roy. Given that I have Roy take a kill and level up here, I end up 5723 frames ahead of v3 here, that's a loss of 1180 frames, but it's worth it in the long run.
