Riovanes Castle: part 1

Sorry, I've been busy with finals these past few weeks and haven't gotten further in Tactics. My brother and I also decided to buy Puzzle Quest and well, that is one fun game. Even though it kicks your ass. Well, it kicks my ass!

I did fight the first battle in Riovanes, where Rafa and Malak do nothing for a bit and then teleport away to God knows where. I was left to deal with the evil female archers and not very useful abilities. No one died, but the battle was still a pain. However, my female monk can now deal 100+ damage, so *punch!!!*

Yuguewood

I just fought the battle at Yuguewood, not too hard. I still have difficulty enticing characters in, but I suppose that's a tricky skill to use. Also, I have a dancer now, and that is way amusing watching her dance. Still haven't made much headway in the mage path, though. I just finally got a summoner, how long until I get a calculator and a bard?!



Here's a fanart of Ovelia. I drew the lineart on tegaki which is why it looks kinda awkward, and finished it up on Photoshop. I have no idea why she's sitting like that, that's just how it turned out.

Does anyone have any tips on completing the quests and getting the bonus? Sometimes the tavernmaster tells you that a specific type of person needs to go on this quest, but I have yet to guess correctly on which one. Like for example, this latest Diving Expedition requires people with strength and endurance and I tried every combination of buffed up characters, monks, geomancers, knights, squires, dragoons, and it just won't give me the bonus!
