Madason, his kids, and Sancho have previously restored Dr Agon to his proper form, the Zenith Dragon. In return, His Dragonness has rewarded them with the Zenithian Tintinnabulum. When the party uses this item, the Zenith Dragon will swoop in and fly them just about anywhere. Like Zenithia, the Zenith Dragon needs a large enough pick-up and set-down point, but it does not need to be quite as large as for Zenithia.

The party starts by using the Zenith Dragon to fly west to Mostroferrato (time 1:00). They are long overdue on revisiting this place. As they enter town, they observe Rodrigo Briscoletti giving a guard some orders (time 1:29). As the son points out, Rodrigo is "on edge." Talking with folks around town only reinforces this, notably the turbaned man on the west side of the fountain. He is referring to the pot that the party would have had to check if the protagonist had married Nera or Debora.

In their exploration, the party finds Crispin and Nera in the villa (time 11:03). They seem to be doing well, except for whatever is going on with Rodrigo.

After exploring the town, the party pays a visit to Rodrigo on the second floor of his mansion (time 16:31). He asks them to check an old jar in the Pothold west of Stockenbarrel.

Then, on the first floor, the maid advises them to read a diary on the bookshelf (time 19:19). Afterwards, they read the diary (time 20:24). This diary would not be available before the maid's dialogue. It is an account by Rodrigo's forefather, Rodolfo, who describes the massive problem he left for future generations. Good job, Rodolfo.

Nice to see Debora's still as charming as ever.

Leaving town, the party uses the Zenith Dragon to fly northwest to the Pothold (time 23:33). At the Pothold, after climbing the stairs to the shrine, they have to stand on the little white sliver in the southwest of the circle and push northwest to reveal the stairway leading down (time 24:23).

Down below, they must examine the massive jar (time 24:53). Oh, dear. It is quite red indeed. This is bad.

They quickly return to Mostroferrato. As they enter town, a guard lets them know Rodrigo is at the neighboring lookout tower of La Guardia (time 26:02).

Next, the party will report to La Guardia and help Rodrigo with his massive problem.

Thanks for watching!
