Earth Cave beaten. LICH lead with ICE2, which was painful, but then cast SLO2 and FAST, so there was only the one round of damage. The black mages cast FAST on the Fighters and then spammed FIR3.

Good news everyone, I'm expecting!
Just wrote an absolute banger of a poem, holy shit. Where did it come from? Exhaustion? I've been riding a lack of sleep for a week as we deal with some stuff and this poem just emerged, immediate and visceral.

Ready to finish the earth cave, but I'll do that another day. So far this is a very fun combo (that can deal an absolute ton of damage), though expensive. #ff1 #jcdff1
