Previously, the party began hunting monsters for the Monster List prior to the Black Citadel. Now, they will continue the monster hunt.

The party resumes at the Hilltop Hut. First, they will hunt down two monsters missing from the Ocean area.

The party Zooms to Neos (time 1:59). South of town, they board the ship (time 2:38). They sail for the invisible island in the southwest corner of the map.

After the first battle, Jessica reaches Level 38 (time 3:59). She obtains 10 skill points. She puts 1 point into Staves for a total of 100. At 100 points in Staves, she becomes a Queen Sorceress, the highest level attainable, and learns the spell Kazing. She puts 9 points into Fisticuffs for a total of 60. At 52 points in Fisticuffs, she becomes a Fightin' Fairy and learns the trait Probability of Dodging Increased (while empty-handed).

When they reach the invisible island, Yangus starts using Whistle to summon enemies (time 11:04). The Monster List targets are the Pigmalion and the Poison Eveel.

When they are done with the Ocean monsters, they Zoom to Argonia (time 15:06). They rest until evening at the inn.

In the chancellor's house, they examine the mirror to go back into the Trolls' Maze (time 16:38). They are only missing one enemy here: the purple-skinned Great Troll. The Great Troll is extremely dangerous, so be careful. You may want to put it to sleep with Snooze.

When they are done, they Evac out of the Trolls' Maze (time 19:30).

Now, the party will make more money with the Kunoichi Headband trick. First, they Zoom to Pickham (time 20:00). At the Pickham Casino prize counter, they pick up 99 Agility Rings For 1,000 tokens apiece (time 20:36). They also grab 99 Magic Waters for 100 tokens apiece. Looks like they'll need to earn more tokens at some point, too.

Next, they Zoom to Peregrin Quay (time 21:17). They rest until morning at the inn.

At the southeast item shop in the marketplace, they pick up 99 Bandanas for 45 gold apiece (time 22:05).

Then, they Zoom to Orkutsk (time 22:24). At the armour shop during the day, they pick up 99 Iron Headgears for 5,500 gold apiece (time 22:58).

They do their alchemy (time 23:15). First, they make 99 Mercury's Bandanas (Bandana + Agility Ring). Then, they make 99 Kunoichi Headbands (Iron Headgear + Mercury's Bandana).

They sell the 99 Kunoichi Headbands to the armour shop for 10,000 gold apiece (time 24:17). The profit per Kunoichi Headband is 4,455 gold. It really adds up.

Next, the party Zooms to Arcadia (time 25:42). They rest until evening at the inn.

They visit the Mystery Mart at night (time 27:00). They pick up another Seed of Skill for the low, low price of 100,000 gold. Red uses it and obtains 5 skill points. She puts them into Fans for a total of 5. At 4 points in Fans, she learns basic Fan techniques, becomes a Basic Fan User, and learns the ability Flower Shower. I am starting to put points into Fans for Dance of Life, which she learns at 82 points.

The party Zooms to the Mystical Spring (time 28:09).

They examine the spring (time 29:51). A scene takes place when Davilas has Medea drink from it. The equine princess is justifiably concerned about the state of the world. However, she has admirable resolve.

The party Zooms to the Seaview Church (time 31:23). They rest for free and save.

Next time, the party will finally fly to the Black Citadel, Rhapthorne's skyborne fortress.

Thanks for watching!
