Forgive the double post but I got the next chapter of Dawn of Courage done ("Arena of Lost Souls"). I was only planning on starting it but once I started I couldn't stop until it was done.
Anyway, the party makes landfall after their battle with Boneacuda and his zombie sharkmen. They soon learn the port town is being terrorized by another Undead Captain powered by a fallen soul. However, there's a twist this time: the Undead Captain as a defined element, in this case Lightning. This gives the party a chance to exploit the elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors on their foe for an easier battle, although Nina is reluctant, as it means she'll have to use her Nymph Wing form to exploit the Undead Captain's Wood weakness, though the party convinces her to go through with it for the good of Edyn. Later she and Nova are talking, wondering why Muu is using elements now when he deliberately avoided that prior. Nova theorized it might be his attempt to counter the party's Shaman forms, since the Shaman forms gain elemental strengths and weaknesses. The next day the Undead Captain: Captain Flashbone, and his Undead Army platoon attack. Nina and Van don their Nymph Wing and Guardian of Edyn forms, respectively, to fight Flashbone while the rest of the party deals with the Undead Soldiers. They ultimately prove victorious and free the trapped soul, only to learn it was actually two souls inside this new Undead Captain. The two souls, one being Zeeker's old friend Lenny and the other being a human woman, reveal that Muu is very desperate to regain lost ground that the party has won back from him, and plans to use Undead Captains with elements to counter the party's Shaman forms, confirming Nova's theory. They also reveal that the destruction of Juggerrot has had a larger impact than expected, as even Muu is unnerved by Juggerrot's defeat. The two souls ascend to the heavens and the party returns to the grateful port town to rest. The next chapter, "Mystical Touch of the Amorous Warrior", will feature a new "challenger" wanting to win Nina's heart.
