Previously, Prince Charmles showed his true character and showed off his new Argon Heart. The party acquired the Magic Mirror from the royal vault in Argonia, but as luck would have it, it has been drained of its power. Now, the party must recharge it before it will unlock the Dark Ruins.

The party resumes in Argonia Castle. They chat with folks on the way out. King Clavius has a little to say about his elder brother, Eltrio.

On the 1st Floor, the party can find two members of the posse that Golding's children sent after Dhoulmagus. They are having no luck getting in to see King Clavius.

The party leaves Argonia Castle (time 3:37). An old man near the church has an interesting observation about the prince's state compared to the state his father was in when he returned from the initiation.

When they are done chatting in town, they leave Argonia (time 6:14).

They Zoom to the Mystical Spring (time 8:05). A scene takes place when Davilas gets Medea to drink from the spring (time 8:28). Recent events have made her justifiably concerned about her fiancé.

When that is done, they leave the Mystical Spring (time 9:40).

A short distance east, they enter the Seer's house (time 10:51).

A scene takes place when they speak with the Seer (time 11:16). The Magic Mirror is really the Sun Mirror. The party must power it up by absorbing the Gigaflash spell cast by a Sea Dragon. The Sea Dragon appears in the straits near the natural bridge north of Argonia.

The party leaves the Seer's house (time 16:08).

They Zoom to Seaview Church (time 17:30). They board their ship (time 17:54). They sail southeast through the strait north of Argonia.

Near the natural bridge over the strait, they encounter a Sea Dragon (time 19:32). One party member must be holding the Magic Mirror. That party member should use the Magic Mirror as an item while the others psyche up or defend. When the Sea Dragon casts Gigaflash, the Magic Mirror will absorb the energy and become the Sun Mirror. Then, the party can dispatch the Sea Dragon.

The party Zooms back to Seaview Church (time 22:16).

When they rest, Davilas can now communicate with Medea in his dreams (time 22:52). That Mystical Spring certainly has interesting effects.

Next time, the party will begin preparing for the Dark Ruins. There is some good equipment available at the Argonia bazaar now, and the party needs additional funds. Also, Angelo needs the Multiheal spell, which he learns at Level 30.

Thanks for watching!
