Well, death has found me for the first time. It was going to happen eventually, I'm just impressed it didn't happen earlier. Wandering off into an area that was 4 levels above me was rather ambitious, even if it it did have the experience I need to level up in less than 3 hours.
Anyhoo, this is another exploration episode, albeit with a bit more variation and some new lands to boot! There's a nice section for Partitio where we need to earn A LOT of leaves to purchase a big boat. We travel to a new island to find the beastlings. And eventually we'll level up to the point where we can do a Chapter 2 for...well, anyone, really.
