The one thing I always wanted Gildward to do

And he DID do it, sort of, with Whizrorb.   Anyone who actually remembers who I am will remember my old campaign of proving even the most 'useless' of bards could be awesome (a long topic about proving Edward to be stronger than Cecil)

Well, seeing as Gildward was sort of derived from Edward/Gilbert, I give you this

I always wanted the party to run into a ridiculously strong monster, get owned, and wake up to the monster dead, and Gildward applying the RVIVEPTNs

No explanations given.

I'd have to wonder about Cecil and Edge's reaction to this situation, here.
