[Hetzel]

Could also crown him for some extra Movement if you really need it.

You also have to give him Pass, I think.

Well,I don't recall mages getting more movement on their second promotion,but he sould be crowned anyway,as I don't think he could one round Hetzel with sages caps,or without flare: /

And the TC already mentionned giving him pass,so I didn't,but it's pretty obvious;)

Guess I'll try this myself;I'm curious:p

[Hetzel]

If I'm not mistaken,Hetzel is 23 squares away from Tormod's starting position,and he can attack him with common magic once he's traveled 22 squares.It seems perfectly doable to me...

If you can manage his item(which should be possible as you planned to give him the rescue staff),just give him the boots(so he now has 10 move)and shove him twice.Then you can apply your strategy of rescuing Rafiel so he can move again,and attack Hetzel(possibly with the Rexflame,but I don't know how much magic he'd need to OR him;shouldn't be that much,tough)

OR you can shove him 6 times.With the right units this may be possible.You already have Ike,Nailah,Vika and Muarim...if you add the two hawk laguz with wildheart(or even just Mordecai,or anyone you'd have given the smite skill to),this should work as well.

Am I missing something?

Edit:Btw,Flare does NOT work on ranged tomes,I'm almost sure of it.
