A big group of Ragers had just gone scatter/splatter at the Warlocks, and Jhard told me only two made it out alive and they were hurt. So I thought it was the perfect time to try to retrieve the Nexus Link and practice my parrying some. I asked Sassami to join me, but I didn't want to wait. This is also a fight that shows how it isn't easy to fight using numbers, i.e. "ham 1."
