Gordon's finished, alright. All his blather about god damn heroes won't do him a damn bit of good against the Mysidian prodigy Palom. Gordon's funny and always good for a hysterical quote or two, but most unremarkable as a fighter. The Defender of Earth has no defenses against Palom's half dozen blistering status attacks, let alone his offensive magic. What can Gordon do? He can hit Palom and hope he kills in a blow, but Palom's no little girl: unlike his "beloved" sister, he can take one of Gordon's hits! Gordon's going to be roasted as soon as Palom gets a turn, and nothing the heroic defender has will slow down the punk mage's barrage of deadly black arts.
