It won't take much of Nash's blather to make Slade wish for the monosyllable responses of Blastoise. This blowhard from Vane is, however, quite easy meat to a couple of razor sharp attacks from Slade's Gisarme, which can turn even the toughest of bosses into bloody ribbons with a single lucky swing. Defend, you say? Hope for the best? Hahahah. There is no such defense against Slade's razor sharp attacks. Nash can't hope to outslug with magic, and is easily matched in speed by the once-thief. This will be as easy as stealing a precious jewel from a lightly guarded temple!
