“Don’t pick a fight if you don’t have to, it’s better to avoid pointless battles,” said Tyrone.
Alisa and party managed to backtrack without being seen by the Motavian natives. They wandered around a large cliff side.

“Oh, no, that man is definitely a thief. Awful, just awful,” the woman said, furrowing her brow.
Maybe so, but maybe he was a member of an anti-government group. Either way, Alisa was not in her mind to help him. Alerting La Shiec to her doings by getting involved would be bad.
The Robo-Cops attacked the man with anesthetizing bullets, and then took him away somewhere.
It seemed the right time to leave for Alisa as well. As for where to go next… (If you possess an Iron Sword then go to Scion, otherwise go to the shop.)
The stooping figure of the Sharkin came ashore. Its fishy scales glittered and glistened in the sun in a disgusting display. Worse still, a tongue came shooting out towards Alisa, even though she was sure she had just finished cutting its tongue off!
Alisa deftly jumped out of the way. The Sharkin’s prickly tongue missed and attacked the empty sky.
“Yikes, that was close! My brother used to warn me to be careful around men with two tongues, hah! Well, who knows if you’re even male. Hey, don’t lick my legs like that!”
“Shaa!?”
Brandishing its claws, the Sharkin shuffled towards Alisa. Each of its claws was like a huge butchers’ knife.
“Oh? YOU think you’re going to eat ME? Learn your place on the food chain, fish man! I’ll make seafood out of you!”
Undaunted by Alisa’s taunts, the Sharkin launched itself towards her. Sword clashed against claws and thorns! Back and forth, side to side, they danced in battle.
“Ahh!” Alisa stumbled on the sand beneath her feet. She was not used to this sort of terrain.
The Sharkin leapt towards her from above, attempting to smother her.
“Get away from me with your nasty fish breath!” Alisa desperately reached down and threw a hardened clump of sand in its direction. The staggering Sharkin was hit in the chest, finishing it off. (+2 CP, +1 MP, +40 MESETA)
“Phew, I finally beat him.” Alisa panted and stood up. “I wonder if that village over there is Scion.”
Alisa began walking towards the village she saw on the cape.
Alisa sank into the thickets and thrust upwards with her sword.
Swoosh! She could feel the sword slicing through flesh.
The foolish Monster Fly flew itself into its own doom. The fly got sliced in two as it collided into Alisa’s blade. Its remains tumbled to the ground. (+1 CP, +5 MESETA)
Before she could relax she heard a different buzzing. This time it came from a monster like a dragon fly, but with a sharp fang on its tail — a Scorpius.
Scorpius: 1 + BP (1-A)
Alisa: CP + BP (2-H)
There is a door in the wall to the north. The path stretches from east to west.
The bloodshot cyclops Devil Bat came nose diving right for Alisa!
If Alisa looked flustered, it was only for a brief moment. Despite her appearance, she expertly drew her sword and coolly sliced off the wings of the Devil Bat.
The pinioned monster, now reduced to being only an eyeball, came tumbling down from the sky, landing in the heart of the forest. (1 CP, +1 MP, +10 MESETA)
Continuing along, Alisa soon came to the edge of the forest. Apparently the forest was smaller than she had thought.
(It’s time to sink or swim!) Putting all of her fighting spirit into it, Alisa started slashing.
However, her sword passed straight through the monster, which absorbed it.
“The sword is no good!”
It wasn’t just the sword that was swallowed. Alisa’s body was sucked into the Nightmare in the same way…
“What! You didn’t bring anything sweet?! In that case, you may not pass!”
“Huh? So what if we didn’t, we already went through all the trouble of coming here! Fine, if that’s how it is then I guess we’ll just force our way in!
Robot Guard: 9 + BP (1-G)
Alisa & Party: CP + BP (2-A)
<Heh heh heh… Where to start eating from first? The top party looks tasty, but so does her bottom…>
The Manticore made a leap for her! A panicked Alisa raised her sword up to protect herself.
Gash! The point of the sword sliced perfectly through the beast’s forehead.
“Wow. He looked big, and he talked big, but that was it.” (+2 CP, +1 MP)
Alisa left and made her way to the black-haired Kuny Noone’s Shop.
