ソル, ie. "Sun Cannon", _not_ "soul". Much later on there's an enemy called ソウルイーター "Soul Eater" (note the extra ウ), so this translation is a slight stuff-up.

This and the Sergeant/Iron Claw fight in Karnak are the two forced EXP fights that matter (the Bartz-only Goblins at game start are completely unavoidable, and all other forced fights either give no EXP or can have it circumvented); 2/2/2/3 (all party members gain EXP) gives you higher party average but more evenly spread; 2/1/1/4 gives you lower party average but Faris absorbs all EXP and is of a slightly higher level (this does matter gameplay-wise in potentially significant ways).
