Okay... you are at the first battle of the game... 3 on 6, this is a VERY easy battle, but harder to actually get all of the special items in. I'll use this battle to introduce you to the style of walkthrough I'm going to do.

As my general suggestion, I would highly recommend having Clint and Diego do the most fighting in this battle, as Ash is already one level higher then them. No reinforcements, one boss, one target. You need the money, so kill everyone instead of going after Zooty baby.

What I did:
Hero Turn 1:
Diego shoots the Brigand behind Ash (7 damage, 21 xp, 7/14 HP remaining). Clint finishes off the Brigand (7+ damage, 47 xp, 0/14 HP remaining), Ash moves back to where the Brigand was, end turn.
Enemy Turn 1:
Hunter attacks Diego (8 damage, 23/31 HP remaining), Diego hits back (7 damage, 23 xp, 5/12 HP remaining). Brigand attacks Diego (10 damage, 13/31 HP remaining), Diego hits back (7 damage, 21 xp, 7/14 HP remaining). All other enemies reposition.
Hero Turn 2:
Diego moves back a step and shoots the Hunter at 5 HP (5+ damage, 37 xp, Diego Level Up.0/12 HP remaining), Clint moves up to Diego's old spot and attacks the Brigand at 7 HP (7+ damage, 47 xp, 0/14 HP remaining), Ash moves back closer to the hidden item.
Enemy Turn 2:
Hunter shoots Clint head on (7 damage, 28/35 HP remaining), then a Brigand hits Clint (9 damage, 19/35 HP remaining), with a counterattack (8 damage, 16 xp, Clint Level Up, 6/14 HP remaining). Zoot moves closer to the party.
Hero Turn 3:
Clint gets pissed off and smites the Hunter (12+ damage, 32 xp, 0/12 HP remaining) while Diego goes and makes short work of the remaining Brigand (6+ damage, 22 xp, 0/14 HP remaining). Ash gets closer to the Light Sword.
Enemy Turn 3:
Zoot attacks Clint (15 damage, 11/42 HP remaining), Clint counters (5 damage, 14 xp, 9/14 HP remaining). Nothing else happens since Zoot is the only enemy living.
Hero Turn 4:
NOTE: At this point, you could kill Zoot easily, but I like to get all of the items on the map.
Clint runs away towards the Mad Book, Ash picks up the Light Sword, and Diego tries to get Zoot's attention (4 damage, 11 xp, 5/14 HP remaining).
Enemy Turn 4:
Zoot falls back and heals (+9 HP, 14/14 HP, 0/2 MP).
Hero Turn 5:
Clint moves towards Mad Book, Diego follows Clint, Ash moves towards Zoot.
Enemy Turn 5:
Zoot moves towards Diego.
Hero Turn 6:
Clint picks up Mad Book. Diego moves as far away from Zoot as possible. Ash moves towards Zoot.
Enemy Turn 6:
Zoot closes the gap between himself and Diego.
Hero Turn 7:
Ash moves towards Zoot (like he'd ever reach him...) Clint moves towards Zoot and uses an herb when he gets there (+31 HP, 42/42 HP, 0/0 MP, 27 xp), Diego runs.
Enemy Turn 7:
Zoot hits Diego HARD (17 damage, 3/31 HP remaining), and Diego counters meekly (5 damage, 11 xp, 9/14 HP remaining).
Hero Turn 8:
Clint is almost there... Diego heals with an herb (+35 HP, 38/38 HP, 0/0 MP, 33 xp), Ash does nothing.
Enemy Turn 8:
Zoot decides to switch targets and go after Clint (16 damage, 26/42 HP remaining), with the obligatory counter (4 damage, 5/15 HP remaining)
Hero Turn 9:
Diego decides on some support from Clint and shoot him close up (4 damage, 1/14 HP remaining) and is countered (17 damage, 14 xp, 21/38 HP remaining). Clint finishes off Zooty with a chop from the sword (1+ damage, 16 xp, Clint Level Up, 0/14 HP remaining).
Zoot: Argh... don't kill me, I'm pleading with you!
