Stele

(Something is written in an ancient language.)

There's more than meets the eye.

There's more than meets the eye.

Your choice

(Read the stele.)

Penny

"There's more than meets the eye"?

Cloud

Wow, you can read that?

Penny

Of course. Anybody looking for old treasures needs to know ancient languages.

Even the entrance is heavily protected... Exciting!

Hehe! I wonder what's hidden here.

Yes!

$CAT_NAME$

Nyan?!

Cloud

Ack! What is that?!

Penny

Ahhhh! Run!!!

Cloud

*Gasp, gasp...* Whoa... I almost died...

Verna

No, we are NOT doing this. Let's go back.

Penny

Huh? But you're already here! Wouldn't that just be a waste?

Look at these traps. There has to be something unbelievably valuable here!

Verna

Nothing's more valuable to me than my life...

...and his.

Let's go, Cloud. I'm getting hungry.

Cloud

Huh? Okay!

Penny

Hey, wait! It really isn't far now!

Verna

Then you can go there alone.

Penny

H-half!

I'll let you take half of the treasure!

Verna

That's how it should've been from the start. Lead the way.

Penny

Tch, you little... You're pretty clever. Okay, fine. Let's go then.

Stele

Cats and water do not mix, and so the way is barred.

Penny

Now now, let's hurry it up!

Ice Fist Dude

Grah... Grahh... Graahhh...!

Penny

Monsters?! It was a trap?

Tch. That's a shame.

According to the map, the exit is just across here.

Ohhh, this is sooo exciting! I wonder what kinds of treasures there'll be.

Cloud

A mimic?

Penny

Hey! Don't talk like that; you'll jinx us!

Cloud

Whoa!

Verna

I never imagined there'd be a place like this on Mt. Aurum...

I've never seen anything so beautiful...

Cloud

Me neither!

Penny

You can admire the scenery after we find the treasure!

Where is it? Maybe... here?

Cloud

Look what I found!

Verna

A notebook... and a pendant.

Penny

It's made of gold... and it has a diamond in it! Score!

Verna

This is an exploration log.

Old Letter

(There is a worn letter tucked between the pages of the exploration log.)

Your choice

(Read the letter.)

Old Letter

If someone is reading this letter, that means that I've already left this world.

As an adventurer, meeting death far from home isn't unusual, but...

I have one regret.

I don't know who's reading this letter, but please deliver this notebook to my son. It holds my entire life.

Feel free to take my pendant as a reward for taking on this task.

My son's name is Colimbus.

Penny

He didn't even tell us where his kid lives. How does he expect us to find him?

Whatever. We still managed to find something. A promise is a promise, so I'll give you half of what I get for selling this.

Cloud

And we're gonna look for Colimbus, right?

Penny

No. How are we supposed to find someone with just their name?

Plus, we don't even know when this guy left this note. His son could be dead too.

Verna

If it were my dad, I'd wait forever for him to return.

You can keep the pendant. Instead, search for Colimbus with us.

Penny

Really? Are you serious? This will probably fetch a good price.

Verna

...O-of course!

Cloud

You hesitated, Verna.

Penny

No take-backs!

Lenna

Mr. Colimbus? He's pretty famous within our guild.

Verna

Well, that was easy.

Lenna

He's continuously put up requests to find his father, who went missing fifty years ago.

Cloud

Huh. It really must be him.

Lenna

It's not a very common name. Why are you looking for him?

Penny

We found his dad's personal effects. We're going to return them to him.

Lenna

Really? Then take this!

Your choice

(Take the worn and crumpled request paper.)

Lenna

If you look here, there are directions to Mr. Colimbus's home.

He's a bit older so perhaps it would be best to deliver them to him directly.

Penny

What a pain. He's probably still younger than me. Why are you being such a chore...?

Lenna

Miss Penny!

Penny

Alright! We'll deliver it!

Colimbus

Oh my. I see I've got some adorable visitors. What brings you to see this old soul?

Penny

Ugh. Who are you calling adorable? Don't you see my ears?

Here. It's your father's.

Colimbus

Oh...

Where did you find this?

Verna

In a place called Adventurers' Grave in Thesaurum Cave.

I'm sorry, but your father...

Colimbus

Haha, I'm an antique myself. This isn't unexpected.

I just wanted to find his remains...

Thank you, truly. Thank you.

Penny

*Sigh*

$CAT_NAME$

Myawr?

Penny

This was with the notebook. It was supposed to be a reward, but just... take it.

Colimbus

Thank you, Miss Elf.

Once again, to all of you, my thanks...

Penny

Let's go. I'll take you to Sylvarium.

Verna

You're not so bad after all.

Penny

Man. I'm really going to miss that reward.

Tch, if only I hadn't remembered dad...
