I parked the airship somewhat near a town called Onrac on one of the northern continents. I made my way west to the town.<\/p>\n

This was one weird place. There was a lot of talk about legs, UFOs and robots.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I think this was the first dialog that genuinely surprised me.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Under what circumstances is this a legitimate question? Seriously, what's with you people and legs?<\/p><\/div>\n

There were also some more high-level spells being sold. I bought some, but they’re getting very expensive now. There was also a woman who had tried to make her own submarine, but apparently it’s a deathtrap.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Normally I'd be pleased that this kind of explains the obsession with legs in this town. But then you had to speak the second half of that sentence. You made a submarine out of a BARREL? Sure, why not? By the way, I made a moped out of a rake and an angry mule.<\/p><\/div>\n

Anyway, I picked up some good information here in Onrac. I was told the location of the caravan, where I could presumably find the faerie. Someone named Koppe told me about a UFO or something landing at a waterfall. I had flown over that waterfall earlier.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I left town and rowed canoe up the nearby river to find the waterfall. Inside was a cave.<\/p>\n

It was fairly big, with lots of twisty passageways. After a good deal of exploring, I found myself in a room with a lot of treasure chests and a robot, presumably the one mentioned in town.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I have BEEN going as fast as I can, jerk.<\/p><\/div>\n

It gave me a cube, of course.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So, er, okay. That said, someone in Onrac who was Dr. Unne’s brother mentioned “Sky People”. He also mentioned a language and a “Rosetta Stone”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The robot didn’t have anything else useful to say, though, and I left. I’m still considering dropping a spell in exchange for the Exit spell, but I really like those spells. And anyway, new spells are getting expensive (as I mentioned earlier), so the extra fights on the way were probably worth it.<\/p>\n

I decided to go look for the caravan. I apparently needed to get to the caravan to get the faerie, who could get me some oxyale, which would\u2026 do something?<\/p>\n

After wandering somewhat aimlessly in the dessert fighting slightly tougher creatures than I normally encounter, I stumbled onto the caravan. There, a merchant was selling a bottle with a faerie in it for something like 40,000 gil.1<\/a><\/sup> So I bought it. I headed back to Gaia, whereupon the faerie flew off to the northeast. I went up to a spring that I had previously found. The faerie was there, hanging out in a very Legend of Zelda sort of way. It gave me some Oxyale. It also informed me that I could use it to breathe underwater, so I guess I could try out that rickety wine barrel of a submarine after all.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So I’m going to head back to Onrac and hop in the “submarine”, though I may head back to the waterfall to make some more money first.<\/p>\n
