And then I screwed up.
The Earth Stone tells us to go to Niedal, a small island to the west. But there are a few places we can look around to. Ghongura can get another new summon at his shop. It's a zombie. The Forest Spirit gives us a Throw Scroll. I don't know what it does. And there's a new letter from dad back at home. He sent us a third Romancing Stone and warned us about the Niedal tournament founder. He's shady.
Niedal is about to begin a tournament. He hypes up the Wind Orb and tells us its dark past. A wealthy family was wiped out by bandits who wanted the Orb. What does the Orb do? It's coveted because it is coveted. Is this a metaphor for something? The winner gets the Wind Orb, and we only need to run through five one-on-one fights. At level thirty five, Arc easily wins this. Nothing even poses a threat to him. Rocktol hands us the Orb, but there's a catch. He's been giving this out every year. So how's he getting it back? He kills off the winners. His guards turn into boogie men zombies, and he transforms into another type of monster, Blood Fiend.
At level thirty five, Arc can rampage through this.
But is the Wind Orb actually linked to the Wind Spirit? Gogen tries to magically look into it but finds nothing. ...and then he drops it... Out pops the Wind Spirit! He has been trapped for 600 years inside that Orb and says similar things to the Guardians. Niedal has a new tournament at this point, but level thirty five isn't strong enough to win battle one.
Returning to the Skyport, the Wind Spirit tells us to go to the desert kingdom of Zariban. But I'm dumb. I wanted to try my hand at getting the secret character at level fifty of the Forbidden Ruins. I got to level thirty, and things started getting hot. Do I want to keep treading or fight my way back? Or should I reload from an hour ago? You'll see what I do...
...next time!
I do want to get through this...
