Alisa peeked inside the entrance of the cave. Could it be that Medusa was really in there? With her heart pounding, she stepped inside.
The cave was dark, damp and musty.
She immediately came upon a fork in the road.

The group arrived in the village of Loar. The Armor Shop there was reputable for its wide variety of wares.

Where to go next? (If you have Polymeteral, then you should go to the village of Bartevo.)
The group continued on, avoiding the rocky terrain.
“Something’s following us already,” muttered Tyrone.
“You noticed them too? There are three of them,” replied Lutz.
Three shadows whirled down from the sky and surrounded the group. A variation of the Werebat species, with fur the color of burnt umber — they were Kryons!
“Hmph, I could tell they were there, too!” Alisa said, unsheathing her sword.
Three Kryons: 17 + BP (1-I)
Alisa & Party: CP + BP (2-B)
The group left the village of Eppi and once again entered “The Lost Woods”. Before catching the last flight to Motavia, they of course wanted to get to the spaceport —However…
“Damn. It looks like we’re in for some stormy weather.”
A countless number of shadows fluttered over their heads. Flying eyeballs – a large group of Gold Lenses!
<They’re coming from over here, too.>
White bones clattered as they rose from the shadows of the trees. It was a Skeleton with a sword and shield.
“That’s strange, those fishmen are heading towards that man over there,” said Alisa.
Without further delay, Alisa and Myau moved in. Tyrone and Lutz then blocked the Marshmen’s escape path. They attacked the enemy from both sides and brought the battle to a close. (+1 CP, +150 MESETA)
“T-thank you”
The man, still on the ground, held out his hand out to Alisa. It was a hand with long, sharp nails and covered in fish scales — the hand of a Marshman!
“Does it scare you? … I may look like this now, but I’m human. La Shiec forced his doctors to perform surgical alterations on a whole bunch of us… I managed to escape somehow, mid-surgery…”
Alisa was aghast. This poor man. She told the man about herself and her comrades.
“A robot, huh… Come to think of it, I’ve heard rumors about one in the scrap heap over in the village of Bartevo. You can probably find it if you use a special drug called Polymeteral.”
“Thank you for the info. Do you want to come with us?”
The man laughed weakly.
“I can’t. I doubt I have much longer… My body is weakened since I escaped in the middle of surgery… But at least I won’t have to live in that lava pit. Instead I get to die here, on the surface… I… I’m so… glad…” (Action Chart – Check “F”)
Within five minutes of leaving the city of Paseo, the group had already wandered into a complete desert zone.
“From space, planet Motavia looks red, you know? I guess this planet is mostly desert, huh,” said Tyrone.
At last, the party finally reached the corner of a weathered cliff.
“It looks like Maharu Cave or whatever should be somewhere deep inside this cliff,” said Tyrone.
“Look at that huge boulder. It almost looks like a mountain,” said Alisa.
The large reddish brown boulder created a fork in the road.
“What! You’ve come again? You guys are incessant!” said the doctor.
“God, this is just exasperating!”
And so it was. The Zombie had already decomposed down to muscle. No matter how many times Alisa sliced her sword at the Zombie, its muscles only splintered and the Zombie showed no sign of being slowed down.
But then suddenly, the Zombie grasped at its head. Myau had come in from behind and drug his claws into it.
“Oh, I get it. You just have to destroy the head to take it down! Out of the way, Myau!”
Alisa thrust her sword down with all her might. This time, it was really dead.
Now having escaped from her crisis, Alisa sees an L-shaped corridor and decides to:
Up ahead, there’s an L-shaped corner. Go around the corner, or go back?
The Serpent extended its tongue of flames and thoroughly licked the old abandoned house.
“Well, I’m not too good with physical combat, but…”
Lutz nimbly whirled up to the Serpent and struck its forehead with his staff. The large snake quivered its body as if drunk, then suddenly ceased moving. (+1 CP, +1 MP, +50 MESETA)
“A paralysis spell, eh? You’re pretty good,” remarked Tyrone.
“It was just a fluke. Now then, once we get through these woods we’ll arrive at the village of Gothic.”
