I've fought Nessie many times to get the goodies in the cave. This run through, with a four party, I tried to cast 3 Elementals and two worked. One was quickly killed, and at some point she cast Body of Stone 7. I kept angling to the left to go after the cave... Meanwhile she retreated!!! At least three moves. And the one remaining Elemental started kicking her A. This was weird. I kept going towards the cave and made it. She was down about 30% by then. Normally when she cast Body it took many turns to have some impact..Anyway, I opened the chest and got Excalibur, Ring of Regen (+4 HP regen), Maiden Head (which is not that good but I can sell it) and other stuff. Well, I normally continue from there after her demise. Instead, I will leave her alive (transported out) and will approach Bayjin from the land on the other side. Will prob have to kill her later, but this is a new thing. Anyone else have a story like this? It shows the AI in this game can continue to surprise.
