Previously, the party used the Godbird's Soulstone to explore the Lord High Priest's Residence and locations on the northeast and southeast continents. They also made a Golden Tiara for Red. Now, they will go to the next town.

After resuming at the Hilltop Hut, the party takes off with the Godbird's Soulstone (time 0:54). They fly to the southeast continent.

Between Simpleton and Pickham, there is an area isolated from the rest of the continent by high mountains and cliffs.

The party lands in a clearing in the east of the area (time 2:00). This is the Untrodden Groves region.

In the northeast of the mainland section of the Untrodden Groves, there is a locked red chest (time 2:18). The party unlocks it and obtains Mini Medal #110.

Note that Great Sabrecats appear here. The party goes on foot so that it will be easier to find cows.

The Buffalogres and Mohawkers in the area are similar to Red Horn and Blue Fang, the bosses of the Dragon Graveyard. Fortunately, they are not nearly as tough.

Red reaches Level 36 (time 6:45). She obtains 7 skill points. She puts 2 points into Knives for a total of 97. She puts 5 points into Roguery for a total of 68. At 66 points in Knives, she becomes Above the Law and learns the trait Knee-jerk Nick. This upgrades Knee-jerk Nab and improves her ability to steal an item from the last enemy defeated in battle. I expect to have her in the party once she has mastered Knives.

In the southwest of the area, the party finds a cow along the south side of the river east of the bridge (time 8:34). She yields a bottle of Fresh Milk.

The party crosses the bridge to the island. After going north, they turn east when they can. They follow the ledge south.

At the southern edge of the ledge, they find a locked red chest overlooking the bridge (time 9:35). They unlock it and obtain a piece of Super Spicy Cheese.

After turning east, they find a blue chest behind a tree (time 9:58).

Near the center of the island, they find another cow (time 10:11). She yields a bottle of Fresh Milk.

After striking the path to the east, they enter the town of Tryan Gully (time 10:30). They can now Zoom to this town.

Before exploring this place, the party Zooms to Princess Minnie's Castle (time 10:49).

They report to Princess Minnie (time 11:11). They have now turned in a total of 110 Mini Medals. For turning in 107 Mini Medals, they earn the Jester's Outfit. The Jester's outfit is a costume change for Morrie and also provides good magic resistance. When the total reaches 115 Mini Medals, she will reward them with a Dragon Claw, an excellent weapon for Mr. Mozzarella.

The party Zooms back to Tryan Gully (time 12:34).

In Tryan Gully, a scene takes place as the party approaches the Berserker-type monster near the bridge (time 14:25). After the monster's astonishing explanation, King Trode decides to take the lead in exploring this place. Good for him!

Before crossing the bridge, the party photographs the Dracky relief on the rock wall above (time 18:51). This satisfies Challenge 082: "Ravine Relief". Challenge 082 is worth 1 stamp.

The building ahead from the bridge contains the pub, the inn, and all the shops.

There are barrels along the railing (time 20:30). They contain an Elfin Elixir and Mini Medal #111.

The party talks to the bartender (time 21:19). A scene takes place when Trode gets a Dry Gigantini for 9 gold. While Trode enjoys his drink, the bartender explains the history of Tryan Gully.

After the scene, we regain control of the party (time 24:43).

A barrel behind the bar counter contains a Slime Crown (time 24:59).

Across from the bank counter downstairs, there are a couple of bookshelves (time 25:32). One bookshelf contains the book 'Rousing the Sword'. It teaches the recipe Liquid Metal Sword = Rusty Old Sword + Slime Crown + Orichalcum.

The other bookshelf contains the book 'Cheese: It's The Bee's Knees' (time 26:30). It teaches the recipe Highly-Strung Cheese = Super Spicy Cheese + Cold Cheese + Rock Salt.

The shops sell some excellent items and equipment.

First, the party checks out the item shop (time 27:16). They pick up some Darksteel Bells at 200 gold apiece. These summon the Dark Sabrecats that must be photographed for a Challenge.
