Pirates, the Pravoka Bullies

When you fight the 9 pirates in Pravoka, don't worry too much. You will probably have a harder time getting there than you will actually fighting them. Have your spell caster use the slep spell to put as many out of commission as you can, and have your other 3 allies, regardless of class, attack. The only exception is if you are running a 4 spell caster party, in which you simply unload on the attack spells. In the second round, have the warriors continue to attack and have your white mage heal someone if necessary (probably not.) Your black mage should use a fire spell on someone just to make sure they die. In the third round, just kill them. Each pirate has 6 hit points and does about 8 to 16 damage per shot. When you win, you will get 40 experience points and 40 gold per pirate. You will also get their ship so you can sail the high seas.
