Thank you so much! I'll try that. And yeah, I'd figure we are too.
A note on the armor you can get from the chests: I find that armor with the +# Armor enchant bug fights. So, avoid those if you can. What happens to me is: Equip armor, next fight can't load properly, empty fight, hit F to autowin, since there's no enemies, stuck after battle because there's no options to continue on. If you have a way to teleport back to town/mansion that you can use from the control options, then you're fine, probably, I haven't tried that. I just have to restart at the last save.
