Where where we?

So, I had to find the dark elf in order to cure the prince. The elves couldn't do this for themselves. I do say, it sure is fortuitous that the elf prince happened to be poisoned in the same time frame that the prophesied Light Warriors came into the world after waiting for hundreds of years.

But before heading off to fight the big bad boss monster, I mean, Astos, I had to upgrade my equipment. This was a slight problem because everything was so expensive and I didn't have much money. I am going to go out on a limb and predict that I will have more money than I know what to do with before too long. I will haul it around in a giant sack that I will drag to the bowels of hell on my way to fight the forces of Chaos in an effort to save the world. Luckily, because it doesn't fit into any kind of game mechanics or world physics, this giant sack will not hinder my progress, fighting performance, or spell casting abilities.

Anyway, the thing I really wanted was a Mythril Sword. Wow, it was so shiny and it's attack capabilities far outpaced my current sword. The catch--4000 gil! Wow, I had maybe 1000 at the time, and I also wanted to by some steel armor. What is a party of light warriors to do? I know--go kill wandering monsters and take all the money that they seem to carry around.

And this is what I did. For a long while.
