Well, I finally beat Nessie! 3 cheers and a tiger for me! Now I have a new problem. Vi is missing! I actually dragged her through the underwater caves, the sea caves, and most of bayjin thanks to a convinient teleport. Boy, did she whine!
Anyway, when I got to the hut in Bayjin where Sgt. Glumph (Umph?) is imprisoned, I had to get him in the party, and my 2 slots were full. (Vi and the 'bot). So I had my Bishop set a portal by the cage, ported back to Arnika, and released Vi. She said to meet back at He'li's later, so I ported back, got the dumbass Sgt. Umpani, and beat it back to Mt. Gigas. After completing that little chore (and getting oodles of XP), I returned to Arnika to retrieve Vi.... but she's not there! I've searched all over Arnika, and can't find her. Is this part of the game, or did the program make a boo-boo?
Argh.
