Following various clues and using clever detecting skills, we have stumbled into the Cave of the Dot in Mantar. There is a scroll on the ground that tells us to turn back or die, and it is oddly cold. My belief is that when the door outside the treasure room says "Authorized Personnel Only, Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted", the clever adventurer determines that this does not apply to him. However it is sounding suspiciously like my merry men have undergone an attack of virulent wussiness. We shall see.

Anyway. I intend to buy a fine new drum, and scabbards worthy of my blades, and perhaps an orchestra hall and a restaurant. And I will give Tidus a raise when I finally see him again. I miss him and his labors. I hope his fighting has improved a bit though.
