Final Fantasy Tactics Walkthrough
After leaving Limberry, still without Alma (but now, as desired, with Meliadoul!), you'll be making your way toward Eagrose Castle. If you take a route through Dorter, though, you'll be ambushed and taken to a battle screen. Since there are multiple routes to Eagrose Castle, this battle is optional and is easily missed as it's not indicated on the map until you trigger it.
As Ramza walks through Dorter, a man calls out to him from the rooftops. This is Cletienne, one of the soldiers of the Church working for Folmarv. As Ramza approaches him, he's suddenly frozen by a trap and unable to move. As Cletienne prepares to kill Ramza in his disabled state, his spell is suddenly interrupted by a massive projectile hitting him and the spell on Ramza fades. Meliadoul enters and Cletienne calls her a traitor, but she turns the claim right back at him as she now knows that her former brothers-in-arms were ultimately responsible for her brother's death. Cletienne's cronies arrive in support, and the battle begins.
Dorter
You only have four slots, but fortunately Meliadoul comes along and is out for blood. Let her do her own thing, as she's a guest and you really have no choice anyway. The map is fairly crowded at the top, so attacks with a large area of effect are really handy - Samurai with high-level swords and Summoners of your own will be incredibly handy. The enemy characters are at a fairly low level, so strong special characters like Orlandeau and Agrias will overpower them very easily.
Otherwise, systematically work your way through the enemies with what you have until you get to Cletienne. He may start the battle with strong magic like Holy, but if you take out his teammates, he will get distracted trying to revive them. You shouldn't be overwhelmed by this battle as long as you actively assault the enemies and don't hold back.
Keep in mind that Meliadoul must stay alive in this battle or you lose, but it's unlikely that she will take much damage in the fight at all. The bigger issue is that if you kill the underlings too quickly, they could block your ability to get to the rooftop, which will necessitate having strong ranged attacks as described above.
After you win, Cletienne will teleport away after mocking Meliadoul, who is left wondering if her father is truly also in league with the Lucavi.
