Previously, the party sailed to the western continent. They landed at Seaview Church, where they picked up some news about a jester. Then, they followed the road to Baccarat.

After resuming, they begin exploring the casino town and trying to learn if Dhoulmagus has been there. From the very start, they learn that the casino is closed. Later, they also learn that the mansion belonging to the casino’s owner, Golding, has been burgled, and Golding has not been seen in public since. As for the mansion itself, it is off limits.

In the alley between the house southwest of the town entrance and the neighboring equipment shop, a barrel contains 72 gold (time 2:56).

In the house southwest of the town entrance, a wardrobe contains a Seed of Strength (time 3:37).

In the same house, a bookcase contains the book ‘Tips for Assassins’ (time 3:43). It provides the recipe Assassin’s Dagger = Eagle Dagger + Poison Needle.

A Golden Slime is atop the bookcase with ‘Tips for Assassins’ (time 4:16). Photographing it satisfies Challenge 102: “Baccarat Golden Slime”. Challenge 102 is worth 1 stamp.

Outside the guard house in the southwest of town, a barrel contains Mini Medal #039 (time 6:40).

In the guard house, a barrel contains Mini Medal #040 (time 7:55). The guards also behave a bit suspiciously.

There is a statue of an ancient sage behind the inn (time 10:10). Photographing it satisfies Challenge 053: “Great Sage”. Challenge 053 is worth 1 star.

In the restaurant in the north of town, a barrel in the kitchen contains a piece of Cool Cheese (time 12:44).

In the northeastern house, a bookcase contains the book ‘The Magic of Cheese’ (time 14:00). It provides the recipe Chunky Cheese = Plain Cheese + Magic Water.

In the same house, a barrel contains a Strong Medicine (time 14:41). A wardrobe contains Mini Medal #041 (time 14:48).

Along the northeastern house’s southeast fence, a pot contains a Seed of Defence (time 15:54).

On the ground floor of the inn, a bookcase in the back room contains the book ‘A Non-Gamblser’s Guide to Baccarat’ (time 18:26). The neighboring wardrobe contains Mini Medal #042 (time 19:07).

Behind the Gold Bank’s counter, there is a locked red chest (time 19:31). It contains a Ruby of Protection. I’m not sure which key it requires.

The pub is downstairs from the inn. Under the bunny girl poster near the bar, a barrel contains an Amor Seco Essence (time 20:31).

Behind the bar counter, a barrel next to a cabinet contains Mini Medal #043 (time 20:45). That’s five Mini Medals in one town.

In the backstage dressing room, a wardrobe contains a Bunny Tail (time 21:44). Another wardrobe contains a Garter (time 21:49).

Underneath the middle dressing table, the party finds a Golden Slime (time 21:59). Photographing it satisfies Challenge 101: “Baccarat Golden Slime”. Challenge 101 is worth 2 stamps.

A scene takes place when the party approaches the corridor to the casino (time 23:39). They eavesdrop on a conversation between the bartender and a hotel employee. The hotel employee reveals what happened to Golding on the night of the burglary. I figured.

In the bedroom farther from the stairway, a wardrobe contains a Dancer’s Costume (time 27:39).

The party goes to the Alchemy Pot. They put together Angelo’s Silver Mail and the Dancer’s Costume. This results in the Dancer’s Mail, armour for Angelo.

Down in the pub, the party speaks with the bartender (time 29:45). When they agree to keep quiet, he reveals that some guards have pursued Golding’s killer to an island off to the north. King Trode pops up to make an observation and provoke another Cor Blimey from Yangus.

At the inn, the party chooses to rest until evening (time 31:56).

In the pub at night, three bunny girls, Xylia, Xanthe, and Xenia, are dancing on stage (time 34:11). Photographing them satisfies Challenge 052: “Bunny Threesome”. Challenge 052 is worth 1 stamp.

For the story, the party must next go to the Northwest Isle. Before that, however, they will work on a sidequest that will help them get around faster. They will work on this sidequest next time.

Thanks for watching!
