Perpetua 29: A Picture of the HIlls 02

The crew of the Little Snail has come to Spillaway Peaks in search of an ally: Thelonious, the editor-in-chief of the Shining Star newspaper and a member of the mysterious group called the Luminaries. But before they can go, meet Theo, and earn his trust, they first have to do a little shopping…

Town Maps [TNMP]

Spillaway Peaks [SPMP]

The Shell Barrow

You know that big dome you can see at Spillaway Peaks from the world map? Yeah, this is it. This is where they do their “Weekly Rehearsal,” which is like Church Sunday for them. Depending on how things go, you can visit this place at the end of the arc and get a buff. 

The Clutch

This is where Terrapine kids grow up and go to school. You can get a pretty good Jonathan scene if you go here, but that’s about it for now.

The Docks and Administrative District

There’s not much here, except a way to get back on the Ferry and head back to Calstega Bay

Jonathan’s Family Home

This is the only of the Clan Homes you can actually enter, but it’s pretty big! It’s four or five levels high (depending on how you count) and there are a ton of rooms to explore, random NPCs to talk to, and some loot too! If you do a side quest for Jonathan’s dad, he can build you some gear in his workshop!

The Shining Star

The town newspaper. If you’re ready to advance the main plot, head up to the second floor of the Shining Star. You’ll automatically run into Theolonius (and Jonathan’s sister is working there as an intern or something, too). But if you aren’t ready yet, you can stay downstairs and use the quest board to grind out some XP and asta!

Shopping District

The highest level of the Spillaway City map (not counting the Spillaway Outskirts, but there you have to load out to the world map before getting there, so I don’t count it!) There are three main shops here. A general store, which basically just lets you recover IP and get basic items, and then Abelene’s Armory and Stokely’s Specialties.

Abelene’s Armory

Armor: Reinforced Mud Suit

300 asta | 11 Phys Def / INS size +1 Mdef | -5 Init | Earth Resistant 

Armor: Meditation Robe

1000 asta | Def: DEX die +1 / MDEF: INS die +2 |-2 Init

Whenever you recover Mind Points, you recover 5 extra Mind Points.

Armor: Choir Robe

1000 asta |  Def: DEX size +1 / Mdef: INS size +2 |-2 Init

Counts as 1 bonus SL of “Sound Barrier”: After you sing a verse with medium or high volume, all physical damage you suffer until the start of your next turn is reduced by【SL】(applied before Affinities).

Shield: Eyecatching Cape

800 z | +2 Def /+0 Mdef

As long as you don’t have a martial armor or another shield equipped, you may apply the effects of the Dodge Skill (see Core Rulebook, page 203). 

Shield: Seasoned Potlid

1500 asta | Martial |+2 Def /+2 MDef 

When you deal damage with a delicacy (see page 151), you deal 5 extra damage.

Shield: Plated Tambourine

1700 asta | +2 Def / +0 Mdef

If you have the Resonance Skill , consider your Skill Level in it increased by 2 (up to a maximum of SL 5).

Weapon: Giant Fork

1000 asta | DEX + MIG | HR + 16 | Martial | Physical Damage | Spear | Two-handed | Melee | 

When you use this weapon with the Knife and Fork Skill, you may add the High Roll to the attack’s damage  (you don’t have to treat it as being equal to 0).

Weapon: Electrified Flyswatter

1300 asta | MIG + DEX | HR+10 | Bolt Damage | One-handed | Melee

You may attack Flying creatures, but you take -3 to the roll.

Stokely’s Specialties

Accessory: Ring of the Occultist - 600 asta

Spells you cast with a target of “Up to three creatures” instead have a target  of “Up to four creatures” (you must still spend additional Mind Points for the fourth target).

Accessory: Spare Magicannon Chamber - 800

When you summon a Magicannon, you also receive an extra Elemental Chamber, matching the previous elemental type you stored. 

Accessory: Ring of Denial 600 asta

When you cast the Dispel spell (Core Rulebook, page 192), its MP cost becomes “10 × T” and its target becomes “Up to three creatures”.

Accessory: Lightcatcher Cage - 800 asta

You are Resistant to bolt and light damage. If you enter Crisis, the effect of this accessory ceases until your next rest.

Accessory: Ancient Pocketwatch - 600 Asta

When using the Entropist skill Stolen Time, you may use any of its options one additional time per skill use (paying requisite MP cost as normal).
