In this entry, we take our first trek through the game's overworld map, show off the enemies we can fight along the way, and try to help a mayor win the election against a sketchy rich guy.
To the north of the first village of the game is Shishkaburg. Along the way, you'll face enemies.
The Roper gives you only one experience at twelve gold. If you reach Level 5, they won't be able to attack you at all. The Eye Cake can hit you for more damage, and gives you ten gold instead of the Roper's twelve, but if you're at Level 5, it won't attack you, either. Both enemies are weak to Freeze, even though you don't have that yet. The Eye Cake also has a chance of dropping a Med 1-5 scroll, although item drops are uncommon and do not always happen. The Ropes drop nothing, however.
At Shishkaburg, you'll find out that the town is in the middle of an election. Crabby is the challenger, while Cabbage is the incumbent mayor. So far, Crabby seems to be winning. Crabby is making promises regarding a favtor.
Teapot Village is to the east, Condante Forest is to the south of Teapot Village, and an abandoned record factory to the north. As a matter of fact, famed singer Lola Leftover's house is here, but Lola is not.
Sleep will put enemies to sleep, keeping them from doing anything. It costs 5 MP to use. The Sword and the Wood Armor is better than what you have.
The house with the sign with the picture of the cabbage above it Mayor Cabbage's house. Cabbage wants to protect the natural beauty of the Land of Sushi. Meanwhile, Crabby's much bigger mansion is to the east of that and has a bigger picture of a crab on top. Unlike Cabbage, who has his wife with him, Crabby has four people in his mansion who love and adore him. There is also a girl off to the side, and if you talk to her before you leave, she will catch up with you back in the town. She will recognize Calorie's collar, and introduce herself as Cup Cake. She will tell you that Crabby is an agent of Bio-Haz, and that she needs your help exposing him. You might as well.
Cup Cake will join you. Head back to Cabbage's house, and you'll find out that Crabby is winning the election right now. In order to win back the villagers' trust, you'll need to fight five monsters outside of the town. Since we're at level five, this will be super easy. Cup Cake will cheer you on throughout the battle, but she will not do much else.
There is a whiteboard at the north end of town, and you can see that to see the current election results. Not like it matters. When you go to it after defeating five monsters, the tide will turn towards Cabbage's favor, but only for a moment, as Crabby wins the people by promising something good to anyone who comes to his home. If you go to Crabby's home and talk to the woman left of Crabby, she will offer you 100 gold, and you can take it. If you take it, however, something will happen later.
Once you look at the whiteboard, you'll have to fight seven monsters in another attempt to win the people back. When you do that, go back to the whiteboard and look at it again. Once again, Cabbage will have the advantage, but it will only last for a moment, and Cup Cake says that the only way for Cabbage to win now is to expose Crabby's identity. She will mention that there is a professor specializing in family trees in family trees in Condante Forest to the southeast, and you'll have to get more info about Crabby from him.
