River Crossing

I'm sitting here in Radiant Dawn, having the Greil Mercenaries cross the river toward the Dawn Brigade. This should be a piece of cake, right?

I'm sending Haar over to Jill in attempt to recruit her. There are a lot of enemies over there. They all attack him, but there's little damage. Haven't reached Jill yet, though.

Zihark approaches us, chats with Ike, and is nearly beaten. Not quite, though. Next turn, Mordecai can chat with him. I recruit him. What? I never knew you could recruit Zihark in this chapter. I may have just screwed over the Dawn Brigade, though, because they kind of need him later on.

Approaching the enemy, and Leonardo goes after Zihark with a longbow. I scoff at him. HE CRITICAL HITS. $%#*! Leonardo with a longbow? How come he never does that when I play that side? I turned the game off in frustration because I'm in denial that Zihark just got beat by Leonardo.

Epic fail.
