Previously, the party used the Illuminated Sea Chart and arrived on the Isolated Plateau. There, they found the next town, Empycchu. Now, they will explore the Isolated Plateau.

After resuming, the party Zooms to Empycchu (time 1:12). They begin exploring the island. The lack of Great Sabrecats makes it time-consuming, but at least there are no longer random encounters.

Northwest of Empycchu, partway down the parth to the beach, the party finds a cow (time 4:16). She yields some Fresh Milk in a convenient bottle.

In the toxic marsh in the west of the island, there is a locked red chest (time 6:33). The party opens it with the Magic Key and acquires a Magical Mace. This is a staff-type weapon that absorbs MP from attacked enemies.

By some trees south/southwest of the toxic marsh, the party finds another cow (time 8:19). She yields a bottle of Fresh Milk.

There is a small lake in the southwest of the plateau. South of the lake, a stream drains into the sea. On the west side of the stream, there is a locked red chest (time 10:10). The party opens it with the Magic Key to acquire a Lesser Panacea.

There is a cow along the western shore of the lake (time 10:40). She yields a bottle of Fresh Milk.

There is also supposed to be a cow along the lake's northern shore, but she is not appearing at the moment.

Morrie reaches Level 37 (time 11:37). He obtains 10 skill points. He puts them into Passion for a total of 74. At 68 points in Passion, he becomes a Rank A Champione of Passion and learns the ability GRANDE GUSTO. GRANDE GUSTO increases his tension two levels. It only works on him, but it is more reliable than Intensso.

The party finds a locked red chest along the southern side of a large rock east of the lake (time 14:53). They open it with the Magic Key and acquire a Mighty Armlet.

On a hill between Empycchu and the toxic marsh, the party finds a prominent stone arch (time 15:36). Photographing it satisfies Challenge 069: "Perch of Rock". Challenge 069 is worth 2 stamps.

Angelo reaches Level 35 (time 17:24). He obtains 7 skill points. He puts them into Charisma for a total of 58. At 52 points in Charisma, he becomes a Romantic Knight and learns the ability Chilling Chuckle. This is an upgrade of Sarcastic Snigger.

Another cow appears by a tree directly south of Empycchu. In review, I see that I missed her, but I will be back for her.

The party finds a cow some distance southeast of Empycchu (time 20:52). She yields a bottle of Fresh Milk.

On a hill southeast of Empycchu, the party finds a red chest containing Mini Medal #088 (time 21:08).

Yangus reaches Level 35 (time 22:36). He obtains 8 skill points. He puts them into Humanity for a total of 71. At 68 points in Humanity, he becomes a Gracious Gang Leader and learns the spell Midheal. Too bad it isn't Fullheal.

Red reaches Level 34 (time 24:30). She obtains 10 skill points. She puts 3 into Knives for a total of 93, the cap for Level 34. She puts 7 into Roguery for a total of 46.

In the northeast corner of the Isolated Plateau, the party finds a locked red chest (time 25:23). They open it with the Magic Key to acquire an Elfin Elixir. Nice!

Jessica reaches Level 34 (time 26:37). She obtains 7 skill points. She puts 6 points into Staves for a total of 93, the maximum for Level 34. She puts 1 point into Fisticuffs for a total of 27.

The party enters the village of Empycchu (time 29:28). They go to the elder's house at the far end of town to rest (for free!) and save.

Next time, the party will explore Empycchu.

Thanks for watching!
