+ LISTEN for the chime.
- If you seem to have gone a long way, check by using the MISC. tab.
* It does take a while to become alert to the chime's sound.
+ REPEAT making these two items UNTIL YOU GET A NEW RECIPE.
SO... WHILE THE ALCHEMY POT IS DOING ITS THING.....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ USE THE THIEF'S KEY +
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
~ Place the THIEF'S KEY in the Item Bag.
+ Inside the Inn, spend the night (18 G).
+ The merchants are not on the Quay during the night.
- And your party probably needs to restore HP & MP anyway.
~ Go onto the quay and back to the merchant in green.
+ Go to the MIDDLE T.Chest and open it (THIEF'S KEY works automatically).
+ This starts a conversation with the merchant.
- He tells you to take all the items in the T.Chests (so open them!).
- You'll get 200 G.; a Mini Medal; a Boomerang.
~ Here's what he has for sale:
__________________________
| Cypress Stick | 10 G |
| Pot Lid | 40 G |
| Bandana | 45 G | ... Used in several recipes.
| Hair Band | 150 G | ... What Jessica is wearing.
| Slime Earrings | 150 G |
|________________|_______|
+ Buy Slime Earrings for whoever doesn't have an accessory.
+ You'll be able to tell in the "Buy Screen" by which person has green
defense numbers.
===================================================================================
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ +
+ 3-2.C. BUILDING EXP LEVELS +
+ +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
~ Travelling around to find T.Chests gets "two birds with one stone":
+ You get the Treasures.
+ Your party's stats greatly improve.
~ You need to bring Jessica's stats to AT LEAST Level 11, before meeting Angelo.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ TREASURE AMONG THE CLIFFS +
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
~ The monsters in this area are somewhat more difficult than those in the first
area you searched for treasure.
RECOMMEND: After each battle, go to the MISC. menu tab and use the top item
"Heal All".
~ Walk south on the road until it does a sharp U-turn to the right.
+ Follow the path marked by dots.

~ Go across the grass and between the trees and head toward the river.
+ Travel along the north bank of the river.
- Even though the grass pathway looks too narrow, it is just wide enough.
+ From there, go up over a hill and the first T.Chest is under a tree [SEED OF
STRENGTH].
+ Go past the tree and walk along the cliff with the sheep to your
right, then go north into the valley.
- At the end of the valley is a second chest [SEED OF WISDOM].
* Use both on Jessica.
REMINDER:
+ Listen for the chime when the Alchemy Pot is done.
- Put more Medicinal Herbs in the Pot.
- Transfer Strong Medicine from Hero's inventory to the Item Bag.
~ RECOMMEND: Use ZOOM after you have both treasures.
+ For some reason the journey back has larger parties of more dangerous monsters.
- For example, if you were to meet a pack of five or six BROWNIES,
FLEE!
- When I met them, two "psyched up" to 100 and Jessica died!
+ Restore HP and MP at the Inn.
+ SAVE!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ ITEM BAG: CLEANING UP CLUTTER +
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
~ Check everyone's inventory.
+ Transfer armour that is no longer needed (has lower defense) to the item Bag.
~ It is probably time for you to organize the items in the bag.
+ When you press [X] on the Item Bag, three choices appear.
- The bottom one is the one to choose when sorting.
* You can sort either BY:
> TYPE.
> ALPHABETICALLY.
+ TYPE:
- First: healing items such as Medicinal Herb, Strong Medicine, etc.
- Next in this order:
* Items that cure poison, such as Antidotal Herb, Strong Antidote.
* Various SEEDS.
* Items that are only ingredients.
* Weapons.
* Armour.
* Headgear.
* Accessories.
* Items collected since the last sort are at the end of the list.
+ ALPHABETIC:
- There are several pages of items and you can't find a particular ingredient.
- For example:
* Suppose you need a Bronze Shield, but it is "hidden" among the clutter.
* Sort alphabetically, and look among items whose names begin with "B".
+ Sort items in the Item bag (don't forget to tell it YES).
~ The Item Bag has an unlimited capacity to hold items, however, some items have
no use except to sell.
+ If you have any of the following Items you can sell them right now if you
wish:
- Oaken Club ............ Cannot be used in Alchemy.
- Jessica's Outfit ...... Low defense but if you sell it, you may never see
one again.
- Giant Mallet .......... Sell it when you have a better club for Yangus.
~ When working with the Alchemy Pot:
+ Make a note of items in the Item Bag that show dark (shadowed) in the Item Bag.
- These cannot be used as ingredients in the Alchemy Pot.
- Decide if they have any other use.
* Sell those that don't.
+ Items shadowed in each person's inventory also cannot be used in the
Alchemy Pot.
- This includes equipped weapons which may be an ingredient if in the Item Bag.
NOW IT'S TIME TO DO WHAT IS NECESSARY TO GET ANGELO IN THE PARTY...

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ BOSS: TORTURED SOUL +
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
~ Tortured Soul is the ghost of the last Abbot of this ruin.
+ He too died of the plague but his soul has remained tied to the ruins.
+ He moans: why does the Goddess remain silent?... Why do I remain in misery?...
- He tells of the "pain of centuries".
- He wonders why the Goddess hasn't given him rest.
~ His stats:
+ HP = 425, MP 285
+ Gives 680 EXP; 200 G.
~ He throws purple shots.
+ Will call friends for backup: a WALKING CORPSE and a SKELETON.
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
+ It is o.k. to defeat ONE of the backup critters before defeating TORTURED SOUL.
+ BUT NOT BOTH...
- TORTURED SOUL will call for backup again if both WALKING CORPSE AND
SKELETON are defeated before he is.
~ Once defeated, he gives Hero a GOLD ROSARY.
+ This is an accessory, adds 5 to WISDOM.
- Can be used as an ingredient in the Alchamy Pot (recipe later).
+ Go through the passage behind and to the left of where he stood.
- It opens out at one of the gravestones behind Abbot Francisco' residence.
===================================================================================
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ +
+ 3-4.C. FINALLY: TO THE RESCUE +
+ +
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
~ First, toss the Barrels against the back wall to get a Mini-medal.
+ Go around to the front of the residence.
- You find three Templars collapsed on the bridge.
+ Enter the ground floor of the residence to find more collapsed Templars.
RECOMMEND: TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE BOOKS ON THE BOOKSHELVES.
- You'll find that Francisco has a weird sense of humor.
- You'll also get a partial recipe.
~ Now climb the stairs and you'll find the Jester hovering over Abbot Francisco
who is asleep.
+ For the first time you see him in full color (this is no memory).
+ He gives Hero an evil grin and vanishes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ MORE TROUBLE!! +
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
VIDEO:
~ Four Templars followed by Marcello arrive upstairs.
+ Marcello jumps to the conclusion that Hero, Yangus and Jessica are the
villains.
+ The Abbot tries to tell him they have pure hearts and are guilty of nothing.
- But it is clear that Marcello isn't convinced.
~ You are now in the Interrogation Room.
+ Marcello demands that they confess and they try to tell him they've done
nothing.
~ Just then there is a knock at the door and Angelo comes in.
+ It is clear that Marcello doesn't know of the secret way, because he says that
they couldn't get to the Abbot...
- UNLESS THEY HAD INSIDE HELP??!!
+ He then produces Angelo's ring which he found in Hero's possession.
- He challenges Angelo: "Show [your] ring to me now!"
~ Angelo snatches the ring from Marcello claiming that it was stolen from him in
the Simpleton Pub....
+ Angelo stalks out in spite of the fact that Marcello calls, "Wait! We're not
done yet!"
~ Another knock on the door and Trode is hauled in as a "suspicious monster."
+ Trode is thrust onto the table and sees our friends.
- He makes it clear that he belongs in Hero's party.
- Marcello: "So much for a pure heart!"
+ Marcello is now convinced that they were trying to kill the Abbot and cause
confusion.
- He refers to his torture chambers and promises: "You'll confess in the end!"
* "You'll learn the gravity of the sins you've commited."
+ He then says: "Until Sunrise! Sleep Well!" and gives an evil chuckle.
~ VIDEO ends with the four (Hero, Yangus, Jessica, and Trode) in a dungeon cell.
+ Have Hero talk to Yangus, Jessica and Trode, then walk around until...

- He says he's going to show them something they've never seen before.
* He picks up Trode.
- He then opens the Iron maiden showing the huge spikes with "real blood".
* "If I throw you in there, you'll be skewered!"
* "I could make you Hole-ier than thou..."
* Trode's teeth chatter.
- Angelo then throws Trode inside and slams shut the door.
+ You hear a fading scream from Trode...
- Then:
* "Eh? Oooooh!
"Can you hear me out there?
"There's a secret passage in here!"
+ Angelo explains that he couldn't have helped them when they were in the
Interrogation Room.
NOTE: To "grass on us" means "to spill the beans".
+ He knows they saved the Abbot's life, because the sinister feeling lingering
in the Abbey faded just before they were brought to the Interrogation Room.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ OH! NO! FIRE AT THE ABBEY! +
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
~ Taking the secret passage, they come up in the shed near the Abbey from under
the haystack.
+ The princess and the wagon are there.
- Trode leaves with the wagon saying they're to make sure they won't be far
behind.
- Angelo blesses them and leaves.
- When our heroes leave, they see the bridge to the Abbot's residence is on
fire.

stained glass window.
+ Marcello is standing guard over the Abbot.
- Jester fires a black curse at Marcello, slamming him against the wall.
- He fires a second against Angelo with the same result.
* "Now there's nothing in my way."
+ The Abbot says he has given himself to the Goddess and is prepared to die if
it is her wish.
- There is a flash of light as Francisco holds up a gold cross.
- Hero (remember curses don't seem to affect him) starts moving forward...
~ BUT .....
+ Trode elbows him aside and yells: "Wait! Wait! Wait! ..."
- This scares Yangus!
- Dhoulmagus, with an evil grin, refers to Trode as King Toad!
+ Trode orders Dhoulmagus to return himself and Medea to normal "At Once!"
+ Dhoulmagus raises his scepter.
- You see the shadow of the Abbot, and he is impaled by the scepter.
- Dhoulmagus: "Such a pity! Seems fate and your benevolent goddess are both
on my side."
* He laughs: "Such a pity! Poor Francisco."

evilly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ ANGELO JOINS THE PARTY +
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
~ Go to the front entrance of the Abbey and you'll find Angelo waiting there.
+ Angelo wants them to know that he is NOT doing this because Marcello ordered
him to.
- He's doing it for Abbot Francisco.
- In fact he is glad to escape!
- He then (typical of Angelo) bows over Jessica's hand and assures her he'll
be her personal bodyguard!!!

- Trode tells him that he looks as if the weight of the world is on his
shoulders.
+ Angelo says that Marcello will never forgive him.
- If they didn't share common blood, they'd get along fine.
~ Then we get the full story.
+ Since you cannot skip the Video, I'll only put the highlights:
* As a child (about 6 years old), Angelo's father and mother died so he had
nowhere to go except to Maella Abbey.
* Inside the Abbey, Marcello (he's an adult) meets him and is really kind...
> Until he discovers that Angelo is his half brother.
> Then, in a nasty voice, he tells Angelo to leave.
* Abbot Francisco comes in as Marcello leaves.
- Marcello was the golden boy at the Abbey and had a bright future.
- He hopes that having Angelo stay will, over time, heal Marcello's wounds.
* He repeats the story:
- Angelo's Father had a child, Marcello, with the maid.
- When Angelo was born, the maid and Marcello (who was probably at least
15 years old) were thrown out.
> That means that if it hadn't been for Angelo, he would have inherited.
- Shortly after, Marcello's mother died and he came to the Abbey.
+ This hurt Angelo a great deal.
* The continuing hatred shown him by Marcello didn't have helped.
- Angel feels it added some spice to the humdrum life of the Abbey!
+ It is now dawn, and Angelo says: "This story has gone on long enough."
~ Get the Seed of Magic from the chapel cabinet.
+ SAVE!!!

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ ANOTHER TREASURE CHEST +
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
~ Remember the Treasure Chest you saw across the river?
Directions:
+ Stay on the Chapel side of the Bridge and head North-West along the edge
of the river.
- At a cliff which blocks the river edge, turn North along this cliff.
* The cliff curves to the West; just keep going North until the cliff curves
back.
- When you come to where the cliff turns to the West, you can see a tree with
a T.Chest beneath it.
* This Chest cannot be opened until you have the Magic Key.
- This area can be confusing.
* Press [X] to get the close-up view of the World Map.
* You need to go South down the Valley that is filled with trees (to the
river).
> Keep checking to make sure you don't get turned around.

~ A Lady's ring is in the well:
+ Remember a man who was angry because Kalderasha couldn't tell him where his
wife's lost ring was?
- He's hanging out (in a maroon cloak and green robe) near the Church in
Farebury.
+ Zoom to Farebury and give him the ring and you'll get a SEED OF WISDOM.
- Actually you get to keep the ring...
+ Remember his wife was also annoyed with Kalderasha because he said she wouldn't
find the ring and if she did, her fingers were too fat for her ring to fit?
- Talk to his wife (the blonde on the second floor of the Inn) and she will
tell you it cannot be hers!
- Because her's was grander and this one is too small for her fingers!
+ That's it...
- And you're left stuck with the ring...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
~ The information you get varies a little if you explore the town by daylight or
by night.
+ If you slept at the Riverside Chapel, you should arrive in daylight.
+ If it is night, stay at the Inn so it can be daylight for exploring the town.
+ Near the gate, a young man dressed in black responds to the query about a
jester named Dhoulmagus:
- "As if a jester would come to a gloomy place like this.
"He'd have stood out like a sore thumb!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ EXPLORE THE TOWN +
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
~ By daylight:
+ Search any cabinets, jars or barrels in town.
+ Talk to everyone in the two houses (8a and 8b on the map).
+ Go read the books in the Church.
+ Check out the stores and buy what you need.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ SUMMARY OF INFORMATION +
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
~ Did you notice the swaths of black silk hanging down around the castle's
tower?
+ As you talk to the townsfolk you discover:
- Queen Sasha died two years ago.
- The king requires everyone to wear black and no children are allowed out
of their houses to play.
- Some feel the Queen wouldn't have wanted this.
+ More information:
- The black cloth on the castle is to show "we're all sad."

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ EMMA'S PROBLEM +
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
~ As you explore the castle, search any cabinets, jars or barrels.
+ Talk to everyone, and work your way up to the top of the tower.
- Listen (in the Royal Suite) to the conversation between the Chancellor and
Emma.
- Continue up the stairs until you get to the top of the castle tower.
> You'll observe the maid Emma, trying to talk the king into eating
something.
+ If it is still daylight, go out and WHISTLE up a few battles until the sky
turns red.
- When it is evening/night, go up to the Royal Suite and listen to King Pavan
as he crouches at the throne.
- Go back down to the central staircase and you'll meet Emma.
> She'll talk to you.
> She wants to have the King see the Queen again.
~ Hints given in the town for solving Emma's problem:
+ At night, go to the Queen's Garden and talk to the old woman.
- She talks about "Wisher's Peak".
+ Go into House 8a and talk to the woman.
- She tells a tale about the "Moonshadow Window".
~ Go out through the Gate and Trode will meet and talk to you.
+ He is thrilled that King Pavan has such a faithful retainer as Emma.
- When he discovers Emma is about the same age as Medea, he ORDERS Hero
to help her!!!
~ The detour?
+ ZOOM to Riverside Chapel then go to Emma's grandmother's cottage.
- Talk to everyone inside.
- Grandmother tells you the story of Wisher's Hill.
* On the night of the Full Moon wait quietly and a door to another world
will open.
NOTE: The moon is ALWAYS full in the game!!!
- And when you reach the right place, it automatically becomes night!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ INCREASING EXP LEVELS +
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
~ Behind the cottage is a downward sloping pathway that takes you to the path
along the river bottoms.
+ Here is an opportunity to Level up quickly.
- Strategy to defeat the METAL SLIMES:
* Hero use the Sword skill ..... METAL SLASH (Sword = 30).
* Yangus use the Axe skill ..... HATCHET MAN (Axe = 19).
* Jessica use the Whip skill ... TWIN DRAGON SLASH (Whip = 23).
* Angelo use the Sword skill ... METAL SLASH (Sword = 22).
+ If you don't have these, you won't be able to take much advantage of the
following:
~ As you walk along the the river, you'll get a battle with three Metal Slimes.
+ In several battles, I have gotten from zero to all three of them.
- I have found them repeatedly, usually within 2-6 steps in an area around
the original meeting place.
+ You'll still get other monsters, but in the area where you first meet them,
you should meet more Metal Slimes (about once in three or four fights).
- In about 20 minutes, you should be able to defeat enough Metal Slimes
so that all members of the party increase two EXP Levels.
~ Making sure you meet more of the Metal Slimes:
- After the first Battle:
* Take ONE SHORT STEP (use the Direction Keys to move) and use WHISTLE.
> If you don't get one this fight, try a slightly different direction and
WHISTLE again.
* Repeat as long as is needed.
* Stay close to where you first found them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ Once you're satisfied, go to the Riverside Chapel, heal and SAVE!!
NOW FULFILL EMMA'S REQUEST...

+ 4-2.E. WISHER'S PEAK +
+ +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
~ As you approach the hill, you may notice a treasure chest above the cave
entrance.
+ you'll be able to get that later.
~ The annoying thing about this dungeon is that the T.Chest with the map is NOT
found in the first level of the cave!
+ So at first, it is rather easy to get turned around and find yourself going
back out of the entrance to the cave.

FROM A (L2) |

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ MOONSHADOW WINDOW +
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
~ As you climb the slope, night falls.
+ Look for the Window.
- The shadow falls toward a wall.
- Stand close to the rounded top of the shadow as it stretches toward the wall.
+ When the shadow reaches and climbs the wall sparkles of light shine in and
around the window's shadow.
- Go close and press [X].
~ VIDEO:
+ When Hero is close enough he raises his hand to the wall.
- From behind Hero you see a flash from where his hand would be.
- The shadow on the wall becomes a door.
+ Go through.
~ On the other side of the window you see some circular platforms.
+ Glowing spots outline invisible walkways between the platforms.
- The central circles on the platforms show the phases of the moon.
+ When you get to the house, before going inside go around the back.
- Press [R2] and look up at the tops of the fountains of water.
- You'll see all phases of the moon in a large oval.
* They're moving even as you look at them.
~ Enter the house, notice the lights that are flowing as the musical instruments
around the walls (windows?) play.
+ The person playing a harp tells you he is Ishmahri, keeper of the Moonshadow
Lands.
- He indicates it has been many moons since humans trod these lands.
- He discerns the reason they are hear, but tells them he cannot bring Sasha
back from her eternal sleep
BUT...
- Perhaps he can bring Pavan out of his waking nightmare.
* He tells them to lead him to the castle.
~ Return to the Moonshadow Window.
+ As soon as you go through, you are in the entrance of the castle facing the
fountain.
~ Ishmahri asks you to take him to the scene of Pavan's misery.
.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ PAVAN'S MEMORIES +
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
~ Go up to the Royal Suite.
+ Pavan is crouched over the throne.
+ Ishmahri plays his harp and says: "May the moon's rays trace scenes enacted
here long ago."
~ VIDEO:
+ A translucent (ghost-like) figure of Sasha appears.
- Sasha dances playfully around the room laughing.
* King Pavan's attention is caught and he comes close to her but she fades
away.
* He then hears a voice behind him asking: "What is wrong?"
+ The Video is quite long and you can't skip it, so only the highlights are
included here:
- Sasha:
* Sometimes you need to be firm. That's a Kings duty.
* Everyone believes in you... Ascantha is your country.
* My dear King, you're a wise and kind man. You should follow your own
instincts.
- King (the current one not the memory king who sometimes appears):
* ... Ah yes. She was always like that, always giving me so much
encouragement.
* Why (sobs)?
- King (the memory one):
* Sasha, why are you always so strong?
- Sasha:
* Because mother gives me strength.
- King:
+ Your mother? But she passed away many years ago.
- Sasha:
* I was timid as a child ... and every day she would try to encourage me.
* When she died, I was so sad and lonely... But then I realized if I went
back to my old self ... it would be just as if she never existed.
* I realized... I must remember... everything she ever taught me.
* ... That way she'll live on inside me always... For ever...
- Pavan:
* Sasha, you're right. I should be more like you.
+ Sasha fades then appears on the steps up to the terrace.
- Pavan climbs up to her as she holds her hand towards him.
* He appears to actually take her by the hand even though it is only a
memory of her.
- On the Terrace they talk some more.
- Sasha:
* Look! Your country stretches before us as far as the eye can see!
* My darling king. For people to live their lives happily... You must be
strong...
+ Sasha fades as the sun rises.
+ Pavan falls to his knees.
- ... I remember. Everything you ever told me lives on in my heart.
- Forgive me Sasha... I'm sorry for being so sad and lonely.
+ VIDEO fades to black, words appear against the black:
- ... At last I've finally woken from my long and terrible nightmare.
+ View of castle as the black swaths are rolled up and bright banners are
dropped from the terrace in their place.
- People in the village are back to wearing normal colors and a child is
running around.
+ There is a feast and the King and our group of friends are at the feast.
- The king says, "Now I can be a proper king to my people."
- He promises to aid Hero if he ever needs help.
~ RECOMMEND:
+ Buy a STEEL BROADSWORD for Jessica (at Knife = 30 she can use a sword).
- Put the DAGGER in the Item Bag.
- Sort the bag by "TYPE".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ HERO MUST EXIT BY THE CASTLE GATE +
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
TO TRIGGER THE NEXT PART OF THE GAME YOU MUST EXIT BY THE GATE...
~ Trode is highly miffed!!
+ Everyone else has been entertained with the royal feast (meaning fine food
and drink) and he can't even go into town.
- He calls them "lucky toads"!!!
+ Yangus has a bright idea.
- Pickham, his original hometown, isn't that fussy.
* And it isn't that far south of Ascantha.
- He thinks that "even a strange old geezer" like Trode could go into town
and have a drink without anyone there making a fuss.
- He also knows someone called "Brains" who "knows everthing about everything"
and MAY have information that will lead them to Dhoulmagus.
SO HEAD FOR PICKHAM BUT FIRST...
