Missions: Distant Beliefs (CoP 2-3)

The Taurus types (stegotaur and minotaurs) have some nasty attacks, the worst being Mortal Ray, which causes Doom. Doom gives you 10 seconds and then you're dead. Holy Water and Cursna may cure it, but when Yobun got Doomed, he spammed 3 holy waters and had cursna cast on him four times, and he still died. Sasukeosiris got Doomed on another fight, and died as well. It's best to try to avoid doom, which means the tank has to face away from the mob, and everyone else tries to be behind (and not pull hate). We had 2 WHM, 2 RDM, 1 SMN, 2 BLM, 2 PLD, 2 MNK, 1 RNG, 1 THF, 1 SAM. Yobun was the main tank, and Kiki didn't really tank much, but did when we fought the NM Tres Duendes, three bats with a Tarutaru pet called Duendes' Amoroso. Yobun tanked the bats, while Kiki tanked the Taru. It was very odd fighting another Taru. The NM can drop a really nice ranged attack dagger, but didn't for us.
The Minotaur fight itself was fairly straightforward, and actually easier than the NM bat fight. When we got close to the room with the Minotaur and it spotted us, we were all drawn in. This was great for Jabberwocky the SMN, who had arrived late and waited at the entrance until this point. If it weren't for the True Sight tauri along the way, it might be fun to send one person in to find the Minotaur and just have everyone else suddenly transported to the fight without needing to make their way through the dungeon.
After the Minotaur fight, we had to continue through the Aqueducts to a library area, which is through a locked gate (opened thanks to our THF, Lucrezia), and finally get cutscene. We all headed back to Tavnazian Safehold (D2 please?) and saw a few more cutscenes. Several people decided to go back and hunt for more Fomor subligars, but I was running late for the ClanTen run on Promyvion-Dem, so I warped to San d'Oria for that.
Saturday morning Kiki headed back to Misareaux Coast for another cutscene and completed Mission 2-4. The next mission involves fighting wyverns in Riverne Site #A01 and a boss fight in Monarch Linn. Both of these are capped at level 40.
