Previously, the party arrived in the Blizzard Peaks, but they fell victim to an avalanche. Fortunately, an old woman named Marta and her Saint Bernard, Boris, rescued them and gave them shelter. She suggested they head to the nearby town of Orkutsk. She also asked them to deliver Marta's Bag to an herb doctor, Marek. So, the party will explore the southern part of the Blizzard Peaks and then check out Orkutsk.

In exploring the Blizzard Peaks, look out for Frostburns and Dead Ringers. They have instant death abilities.

The party resumes outside Marta's Cottage. They begin heading northwest towards Orkustk. Where the road turns north towards Orkutsk, the party turns southwest into a crevasse.

By a tree on a slope in the north of the crevasse, there is a locked chest (time 4:48). The party can open it with the Magic Key and acquire a Holy Silver Rapier. This is a sword for Angelo.

In the east of the crevasse, there is a locked chest in a cul-de-sac past some trees (time 7:07). The party can open it with a Thief's Key and acquire an Yggdrasil Leaf.

By a tree in the south of the crevasse, there is a locked chest (time 9:18). The party can open it with the Magic Key and acquire an Agility Ring. The party equips it on Morrie.

Also in the southern crevasse, the party can find Roborg, an excellent notorious monster for the starting ranks of the Monster Arena. Roborg's big brother, Cybot, can be found on a hill west of Orkutsk after clearing Rank D. These two can work together with Talos to make short work of Ranks C and B. Naturally, I have already achieved Rank S in the Monster Arena, as Morrie is in my party.

As the party approaches Orkutsk, a scene takes place outside town (time 10:18). Trode claims he will be comfortable waiting outside town while the party heads in to investigate.

The party enters the town of Orkutsk (time 11:25). The main level of town is a circle.

At the item shop in the northwest, the party purchases a White Gold Bell for 200 gold (time 15:42). Each White Gold Bell can be used once to summon a White Sabrecat mount. This is necessary for a Cameron's Codex Challenge.

A pot in the item shop contains Mini Medal #067 (time 16:06).

In the pub, a barrel contains a phial of Amor Seco Essence (time 17:10).

The equipment shop is in the east of town. Its services alternate according to the time of day. The armour shop merchant is at the counter during the day. At night, the weapon shop merchant is at the counter. They both have some useful things to sell. The party will be coming back when they have some money.

The church is in the southeast. On a bookshelf in the church, the party finds the book 'Shimmers and Spangles' (time 19:11). It teaches the recipe Shimmering Dress = Spangled Dress + Ruby of Protection + Gold Bracer.

In the church, the party talks to the young man praying at the rear table (time 20:07). I'd say this guy has quite a problem. But that Angelo is such a devil. The party chat with Jessica afterwards is hilarious.

In the pub, there is a door leading to Orkutsk's central courtyard (time 22:06). The mayor's house is located out here.

The party finds a Golden Slime on some crates in the southwest of the courtyard (time 23:32). Photographing it satisfies Challenge 110: "Orkutsk Golden Slime". Challenge 110 is worth 1 stamp.

The party also photographs the mayor's house in the middle of the courtyard (time 24:06). This satsfies Challenge 066: "Focal Point". Challenge 066 is worth 1 stamp.

The party enters the mayor's house (time 25:12).

On the main level of the mayor's house, a pot contains Mini Medal #068 (time 25:23). The party now qualifies for Princess Minnie's next prize.

According to the mayor, Marek is renting an apartment in the passages below town.

Upstairs, a wardrobe contains a piece of Chilly Cheese (time 26:31).

The party goes downstairs to the underground passages (time 26:45).

Directly next to the stairway, a barrel contains a Seed of Defence (time 26:49).

In the scholar's apartment in the southwest, a bookshelf contains the book 'Exploring Orkutsk' (time 27:45).

The wardrobe in the scholar's apartment contains Mini Medal #069 (time 28:19).

The southern stairway in the underground passages leads up to the entrance. However, the guard and the drunkard are blocking the way.

In the northwest storage room, a barrel contains a Rockbomb Shard (time 29:47).

The description is continued in the comments.
