In Tiaral, several love couples wiped out on the same quest. If my memory serves me right, there were at least four: the noblewoman Alexa, the Sylvan samurai who was cheating on his wife with a kitsune girl, the Warlock from Heroist with his Warlock girlfriend from Heroist, and also my one-eyed tactician with his swordswoman who was always lost in thought.
I guess I'm spending my skill points on maxing out Fire magic, then learning Water magic (5 skill points) or Air magic. And the rest on something else, probably work, and I need to see what else I can do, maybe level up something.
