Description:
The United Kingdom of Euchronia is home to many races, but there is discrimination and castes based on both race and wealth, leading to unrest. Worse yet, Count Louis Guiabern assassinated King Hythlodaeus V, starting a competition over the next in line for the throne. The protagonist, an Elda boy, must gather allies for the Resistance and find a way to save the comatose crown prince so that peace can be restored to the realm, but this will be a difficult task due to how his race is at the bottom of the caste.

0:00 Recap
0:21 7/2 Gauntlet Runner
Before doing your night activity, make sure everyone is geared for a boss fight.
3:56 7/3
We run into a human sandworm, despite following Morris's advice.
5:44 Boss: Greatworm Homo Butera
The boss is weak to ice, hence why I used two mages. However, the boss likes to debuff your accuracy, so you need Dekunda on someone. I wish I grinded everyone to learn Dekunda so that Allegory isn't alone with Dekunda duty.
8:27 Giant Sandworm's Belly
There's someone living inside, but he's crazy and doesn't want to leave.
Once you activate the first door, you must get to the end and defeat the miniboss in 15 minutes. Restarting individual battles will account for the time limit, so use the rewind feature if needed.
When going into the stomach acid pools, make sure to spam dodge roll to move faster.
15:07 Miniboss: Homo Fios
This miniboss debuffs your agility while buffing its own, so even with Dekunda, winning is very annoying.
17:20 Giant Sandworm's Belly
20:19 Miniboss: Parasitic Valmo
The miniboss summons mooks that are weak to the element it absorbs. FML. You should also have paralysis resistance equipped if possible.
22:45 Time to Haul Butt
23:37 Giant Sandworm's Nest
Thanks to the bad weather, we can't get extra turn icons from hitting weaknesses. This means the elmenta can only be killed from a proper ambush.
At the destination point, Heismay saves the party from a smaller human sandworm. Despite that, the party still fights him.
31:52 Boss: Heismay
He's not very strong, but he can inflict Forget and he can create shadow clones. The real one has a shadow and attacking him will cause the clones to disappear until he summons them again.
36:21 Heismay's Tent
Heismay runs away with smoke, leaving the party to look through his tent. There's evidence he was part of the Shadowguard, who are members of the knights who were ostracized by the others and forced to do dirty work. He also has a jar of ashes of his own child. The party realizes that Heismay's hearing is sensitive, so they make a lot of noise to lure him out.
44:59 Boss: Heismay Round 2
He's pretty much the same as before.
49:25 Mark Captured
Heismay probably isn't the actual culprit and our clients may have lied to us.
52:48 7/3 Martira Night
Heismay is tied up and left at the Gauntlet Runner, with Strohl and Neuras watching over him.
56:54 7/4 Martira Afternoon
Another kidnapping happened, but Heismay was locked in the bathroom the whole time. Nobody was reported leaving the town, so the culprit must be inside town.
The party brings Heismay to the castle, but point out all the contradictions, causing Morris show his true colors. Heismay hears the cry of the children and escapes.
1:07:10 7/4 Martira Night
Bardon tells us about an underground section of the castle that Morris might be using.
1:11:34 Kriegante Castle
Morris is indeed kidnapping children and he has dangerous monsters under his control. Heismay unlocks the Thief archetype, which has high speed and dark elemental skills. Strohl actually has amazing AOE power right now with the Swordmaster archetype, but the MP cost is kind of insane.
Morris activates a mechanism to escape and the party decides to retreat for now.
1:21:31 7/4 Martira Night
Joanna hasn't been seen, so she might be in on the conspiracy.
I guess reading the utopian novel with new party members is a rite of passage. Heismay points out that even in a supposed equal rights society, there will still be tiers of strength and weakness.
1:30:48 7/5 Afternoon
