This session starts and ends in the same place--me, not sure what to do next, wandering around--but with a whole lot of progress in between!
First, Alexander quickly uncovers one additional valuable from his wrecked ship, which I apparently missed by a pixel or so when I first set out: a single copper coin! The pawn shop economy is fully opened!
From there, it doesn't take Alexander long to use his new mechanical nightingale to make friends with a real nightingale (eventually leading to the attainment of a single strand of Princess Casima's hair) and to fool that big-eared gnome into thinking Alexander is, himself, a pretty bird. Soon enough, the Isle of Wonder is open to our hero!
It takes a little while from there, but eventually Alexander figures out how to use one of the vegetables in the Isle of Wonder's Pun Garden to cool off the boiling pond on the Isle of Beasts. This doesn't open up *nearly* as much territory as clearing the Sense Gnomes did, but hey: it's progress!
Then... well, the rest is mostly wandering, punctuated by the triumphant acquisition of the Hole in the Wall!
Next time: we wander around some more, and hopefully have just as much success in finding whatever I've missed!
