-*- The action is at the bare ground in front of the entrance to the Academy, where "we" are attacked by a level 29 Guardian mutant. Following advice given, I used different characters and different weapons and spells to kill the Guardian. As soon as it falls dead, the mouse cursor disappears and I cannot move my characters on the barren landscape, and the character boxes are gone from the upper right of the monitor as they are when a cutscene is about to begin,which it does not. Though I can now see my fighters after I press f1, 2 and or 5. So now what? I have fought through many bugs to get this far, and the end is in sight, I would hate to uninstall without getting to the Big Finish ( I hope there is one.)
