Previously, the party defeated Dhoulmagus in the Dark Ruins. Unfortunately, King Trode and Medea did not return to normal. Worse, the morning after the battle, Jessica disappeared! Now, the party must pursue her north from Argonia.

After resuming, they leave Argonia (time 2:17).

The party Zooms to Port Prospect (time 3:28).

They talk to Cameron Obscura to turn in the photos from the Dark Ruins (time 3:50). They finish Challenges 076, 077, 078, and 079. They earn 7 stamps.

A few new Challenges appear in Cameron's Codex. However, the party cannot take care of them just yet.

The party Zooms back to Argonia (time 5:23). They follow the road starting southeast from Argonia. The road turns north towards the northern checkpoint.

They reach the northern checkpoint to find the gates blasted open (time 8:43). There is a note along the checkpoint's wall.

North past the gate, the party enters the town of Arcadia (time 9:35). No sooner do they arrive than they are greeted by the ominous Dark Ruins music. It seems there is trouble in town. The party's exploration is restricted for now. They can only go to Dominico's mansion near the church.

Next to Dominico's mansion, the party finds a statue fountain in Dominico's likeness (time 14:19). Photographing it satisfies Challenge 061: "The Face of Arcadia". Challenge 061 is worth 1 stamp.

In Dominico's mansion, a scene takes place when the party enters the upstairs room (time 16:01). Cor blimey! What has happened to Jessica? She seems to be after the town's leading citizen, Master Dominico. However, she departs when she sees the party.

Afterwards, the party speaks with Master Dominico (time 21:04). Dominico asks/demands the party to talk to the Kranbartle family and acquire the Kran Spinels for him. The Kranbartles live in a small house below the fountain in the town's courtyard.

Now, the party can begin exploring Arcadia, starting with Dominico's mansion.

The party photographs Dominico (time 23:33). This satisfies Challenge 132: "Mightiest Magician". Challenge 132 is worth 2 stamps.

One of the bookshelves in Dominico's study contains the book 'Amazing Alchemy' (time 24:19). It touts the curse-lifting power of Saint's Ashes. They learn the recipe Platinum Mail = Zombie Mail + Saint's Ashes.

The party photographs the cauldron in Dominico's study (time 25:07). This satisfies Challenge 063: "Colossal Cauldron". Challenge 063 is worth 1 stamp.

In Dominico's bedroom, a wardrobe contains a Wizard's Staff (time 25:37).

On the first floor of the mansion, there are some pots and bookshelves in a space behind the stairway. One of the bookshelves contains the book 'The Sorcerer and the Staff' (time 26:33). It provides the recipe Staff of Antimagic = Wizard's Staff + Rune Staff.

One of the pots contains some Magic Water (time 27:28). Another contains a Lesser Panacea (time 27:35).

In the kitchen, a wardrobe contains Mini Medal #058 (time 28:17).

Outside, a scene takes place when the party talks to David by the dog pen (time 30:11). Methinks Leopold the dog has not been properly trained. However, David seems like a pleasant young man, even if he is a bit too willing to overlook Dominico's faults.

Upstairs in the church, the party photographs the organ (time 33:52). This satisfies Challenge 062: "Aurous Organ". Challenge 062 is worth 1 stamp.

The party saves in the church. Next time, they will explore Arcadia and visit the Kranbartles to ask for the Kran Spinels.

Thanks for watching!
