Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords (PS2 - 2007) Druid playthrough 6/29

An RPG where the battles are head-to-head match-3.
After leveling up from the main menu (it took me a bit to realize you have to press the O button to level up, rather than making it an active command), I resume the Quest. After capturing another enemy and getting a couple more runes, I successfully train with the 2nd of 5 Knights. Now that I've captured an enemy that I can learn a spell from, I do just that. This introduces another type of objective for the puzzle. After training my Giant Rat mount enough to get its next skill increase, I knock out the 3rd Knight for the Knightly Orders quest. After a failed attempt at getting another rune, I complete the 4th Knight training. I collect another rune and then successfully train with the 5th and final Knight to finally finish off that quest, deciding to join the Bartonians for +2 to my Battle skill.
