To the limits and beyond

Pasifika had reached what seemed to be the peak of her experiences, with nothing new to gain... until this old guy Maat in Jeuno wanted to see her develop even further. Of course he wanted Pasifika to prove her worth first, and doing it by the means of witty conversation wasn't an option. Off to the lairs of fiends!
(Btw look, it's the Holy shield! :D)

Brave little Donthitme helped Pasifika get the unappetising mold from the exorays in Crawler's Nest. While there, they also helped a little taru, who unfortunately died a couple of times nevertheless. Pasifika died once, too, while rushing to help the taru, but mighty Donthitme defeated the bunch of enemies - slowly but surely - allowing Pasifika to get up and raise the other taru as well.

Victory!

Next item on the list was some bomb coal from the notorious Garlaige Citadel... what is that guy going to do with these? o_O Phucrabiont kindly helped with that one, and it turned out to be the easiest one to get.

Luck ran out by the time Pasifika and Phucrabiont got to Eldieme Necropolis, however, and they had to leave empty handed - but Pasifika got a good look at the cree~py place.

She returned later with Donthitme, who intimidated the liches into giving Pasifika the papyrus she needed. (Sounds so~ much like the ingredients for a stink bomb, but the old guy has nothing to do with those tarutaru kids, right... o_o)

Back in Jeuno, Pasifika astounded the old man with the items she had singlehandedly had others get for her, and recieved her due reward.

With her newfound ability to gain more experience, Pasifika is finally able to equip some items she has kept in store for quite a while... ^^; But they're probably still fashionable... these staffs are kind of classics, right?
