Ha, sorry about that. If you've played through that part before, remember that there's an included save in the "StarterSave" folder to bypass that area. If you're playing through for the first time, keep in mind that the fights in Cruel Serenade are a lot about careful timing: when you use items, when you recharge attacks etc. If you burn through items too quickly you may find yourself in a tough situation; try playing through again from a little further back. Also remember that Mezz can heal out of combat, both with items and with his own healing ability that uses a bit of energy. This, again, can help win the timing game.
