Welcome back folks. Last time we found ourselves in control of Nina, the Princess of Winlan, on her quest to find the Remedy for her father. She steals away from the castle in the dead of night and heads to the Aura Cave, off to the west.
Once there, she encounters a pair of gate guards, who make it abundantly clear where they stand on the Princess wandering through a cave.

The guards decide to accompany Nina, and after a bit of fanfare plays, you find yourself in control of a party of multiple characters for the first time.

Once you've set up the party to your liking, it's time to explore Aura cave. The first floor is pretty straight forward, and doesn't introduce any new enemies. The biggest change here is to group composition, you'll be seeing a lot of Glooms and Creeps in mixed formations. As usual, focus on the Glooms first. The Spark spell is still dangerous enough to do serious damage to all of your party members.
Take the time to fight a few battles here, head downstairs and check out the second level of the cave. As usual, I'll give you a slide show and directions to each treasure chest here.

As soon as you find the Suede Gown on the second level, equip it to Nina. Her ACT will go back to a normal score, that dress was clearly not made for travelling in. You can freely sell it off later for a cool 300 GP.
When you make it back to the main level, you should proceed north, where you will see a set of stairs on the right. Don't exit yet, instead head left to find the final chest in this cave, which holds a Cold Stone.

After you have claimed that treasure, head to the stairs and go up to find the exit of Aura Cave. You are no longer in the territory of the Kingdom of Winlan, now you are in the domain of the Wizard of Karma.
A quick walk to the west will find you outside of the village of Romero, which we will explore in more detail in the next episode.
Hope you guys enjoyed this one, Aura Cave was short and sweet, but it is a good place to train up Nina and make some money if you need to. I suggest doing that for a few minutes, maybe 20 or so, in order to help out the bank account.
See you folks next time, and as always, thanks for reading.
