New .vbm of the WIP that goes up till the death of Astos. I'm going to manipulate a group of 5 cobras on my way back to town so Elia can hit 13 and purchase both Sleepra and Haste. I realized that I can only use the Haste spell once, on Chaos, since ideally Elia will be casting Sleepra on the 4 mobs, so H.Shoes should be used on the first turn by one of the Monks (on the other monk) while Stella is a Temper machine.
The list of items I think I'll need from the game will be 3 more E. Exits (Ruby, Floater, Cube), 2 Red Fangs (Vampire), 4 H. Shoes (Lich x2, Marilith x2), and 5 C. Claws (Kraken x2, Tiamat x2, Blue Dragon). I'll also have to make sure to have the 'bonus' prizes include at least 3 Phoenix Downs, since I have 3 dead team members atm. I should only need 2 or 3 megalixirs. One for after reviving the party for the Vampire fight, and one or more for Chaos, maybe. The only other items I'll need to work out are the amount of Speed or Strength potions I'll need to get, but I can work on that when I get to Marilith the first time, I suppose. All told, about 16 more items. :|

I also found a really odd bug in the game. When casting a spell or using an item that targets either a player or enemy, if you hit a direction and the A button at just the right frame (the first frame the A button is accepted for input on the 'target' frame) the cursor will disappear, and you get stuck with your character just sitting there looking silly... forever. Not sure if it was known or not, just something I stumbled upon.
Just realized that I was a bit off on my experience needed for 13, but I can still pull it off! Dammit!
