Previously, the party explored Argonia Castle. Now, they will meet with King Clavius and see what they need to do to get the Magic Mirror.

They resume in the throne room on the 2nd Floor of Argonia Castle.

A scene takes place as the party approaches King Clavius (time 0:28). For some reason, seeing Davilas has an effect on the king.

The party photographs King Clavius (time 2:10). This satisfies Challenge 129: "King of Argonia". Challenge 129 is worth 3 stamps.

A scene takes place when the party talks to King Clavius (time 2:40). He will only hand over the Magic Mirror if they help Prince Charmles undergo his initiation ceremony at the Royal Hunting Ground. However, there is a wrinkle. First, the party must get Prince Charmles out of hiding.

We regain control of the party in the throne room after the scene (time 6:48).

The party goes up the northwest stairway to the 3rd Floor, West Wing (time 8:24). The errant prince is hiding in servant's quarters here, but he won't come out. Talking with the NPCs yields some useful information.

The party continues up to the 4th Floor, West Wing (time 9:49). The NPCs here have more useful information.

In the southwest storeroom, a hole has appeared in the wall behind the pots (time 10:38). Davilas sends Munchie through.

In the crawl space beyond, Munchie bumps the lizard (time 11:02). A funny scene takes place when the lizard falls into the room below. That is one problem solved. Munchie does it again!

Munchie returns through the hole to Davilas (time 11:47). We regain control of the party.

The party goes down to the 3rd Floor, West Wing (time 12:35). They continue down to the 2nd Floor (time 13:32).

A scene takes place as the party approaches the throne (time 14:52). It takes some doing, but Clavius convinces Charmles to go. Poor Jessica!

We regain control of the party in the throne room after the scene (time 18:53).

Down in the entrance hall, the party leaves Argonia Castle (time 21:10). They chat with some NPCs on the way out of town.

A scene takes place when the party leaves town (time 24:52). If I were Trode, the engagement would already be off. Charmles directs the party east to the Royal Hunting Ground. They must help him acquire an Argon Heart from an Argon Lizard. He also gives Davilas a phial of Lizard Humour. The party must put this on to disguise their scent before they enter the Royal Hunting Ground, or the Argon Lizards will run off.

We regain control of the party outside town after the scene (time 27:13).

The party Zooms to Princess Minnie's Castle (time 28:11).

They turn in their Mini Medals to Princess Minnie (time 28:37). They have now turned in 54 Mini Medals. For turning in 52 Mini Medals, she rewards them with a Gold Nugget. When the total reaches 60 Mini Medals, she will reward them with a Meteorite Bracer.

After leaving the castle, the party Zooms to the Royal Hunting Ground (time 29:39). They registered that Zoom point during their exploration.

Next time, the party will hunt down Argon Lizards for Prince Charmless in the Royal Hunting Ground.

Thanks for watching!
