Previously, after the party finished up in Ballymolloy, Ballymolloy Island appeared not far from Estard! From what they learned, Hanlon's Ballymolloy was in the past. They also acquired Green Fragment 2 from a merchant in Ballymolloy. It sounds like another fragment may be in the Rainbow Mines.

After resuming, they leave the town of Ballymolloy (time 1:07).

In the east, near where the Tower used to be, a chest contains a Seed of Life (time 1:54).

In the south, they enter the Rainbow Mines (time 2:42).

Outside, a barrel in the southwest contains an Antidotal Herb (time 3:21).

A barrel outside the eastern hut contains 13 gold (time 3:48).

The party talks to the man at the mine entrance (time 4:35). Since they had talked to the merchant in the tower in Ballymolloy, he steps aside to let them enter.

They enter floor 1F of the Rainbow Mines (time 5:03).

In the northwest, a barrel contains a Seed of Magic (time 5:59).

The party goes downstairs to floor B1 (time 6:45).

In the southeast, they continue down to floor B2 (time 7:33). An easy rainbow rock puzzle awaits.

In the west, they continue down to floor B3 (time 7:52). Another rainbow rock puzzle awaits on this floor.

They descend the northern stairway to floor B4 (time 8:22). Leaving the first yellow rock alone, they must push the second west to get rid of the third, and then the fourth to get rid of the fifth.

To the west, they continue down to floor B5 (time 8:38). A fairly easy rainbow rock puzzle is here.

In the west, they go downstairs to floor B6 (time 9:05). This is the floor where the green rock used to be.

They take the new stairway down to floor B7 (time 9:38). This a cross-shaped floor with four ways to go. There is nothing down the eastern, southern, and western branches.

At the northern end, the party finds Red Fragment 2 (time 11:19). Fantastic! Kiefer recommends they go back to Estard Castle.

The party Evacs out of the mines (time 12:12). They board their boat and land near Estard.

They return to Estard (time 14:41).

To get into the castle, they talk to the western guard (time 15:44). He gets the drawbridge lowered.

On top of the castle, they must go through the eastern door (time 18:53).

Down on the first floor, they will find Dermot chewing out a guard (time 19:49). He pleads with the party to convince the guard to let him pass.

The party talks to the guard (time 21:02). Kiefer convinces the guard to let Dermot through.

Past the door, they continue down to floor B1 (time 22:12). This is the waterway. They find Dermot talking to the Boatman, a similarly cantankerous fellow.

They talk to Dermot (time 23:26). He tells them to use the raft and find ... a certain something. Judging from the Fragment Detector, I'm pretty sure what it is they're supposed to look for.

The party talks to the Boatman (time 27:07). He steps aside and lets them use his raft.

They ride the raft out to the moat (time 27:38). There is a landing on the west side of the castle grounds.

A stairway leads down to a jail (time 28:26). However, there is nothing the party can get here right now. The prisoner doesn't seem to qualify for criminal of the year.

In the north, there is a door underneath Princess Lisette's balcony (time 29:13). A stairway leads down to the northeast part of floor B1 (time 29:20). The Fragment Detector goes wild!

One of the pots below the podium contains a Seed of Agility (time 29:45).

On the podium, they find Red Fragment 3 (time 30:01).

Back at the waterway, they report to old Dermot (time 31:17). He tells a little story about the fragment. He looks forward to people's future explorations. With that, the party makes their way out of the castle.

Before proceeding to the next scenario, it is a good idea to have the Wholly Holy Water from Uncle Pike.

They leave Estard (time 34:58). They make a brief stop at Pilchard Bay to rest at Davilas's house.

To the east, they return to the Shrine of Mysteries (time 36:59).
