Treasures 2 Potions

Encounter Safety 128

Encounters Level 2–3, 20–36 EXP, 2–4 AP, 12–22 gil

Both downed guards here have Potions you can pick up, though for some reason you can pick up both by examining either guard twice. None of the random Encounters here offers much threat, but don't waste time fighting more than you have to. You may be powerful and have a lot of HP, but your healing items are valuable and limited.
