The party uses the magma staff to blow open a mountain range and end up in the kingdom of Femiscyra. In the castle Sofia and the party are framed for stealing a bronze rosary, and are thrown into jail.
After stating their innocence to the queen, the queen lets them search for the thief as long as one party member stays in jail. I throw Borya in jail because he's Borya.
There's a cave to the SE of the kingdom and it's an annoying maze with plenty of treasures, such as a Dragon Shield. Eventually, the party finds the thief at the bottom of the cave.
He is a real pain with the party I had. Sofia/Ragnar/Alena/Torneko have no way to dispel his Kabuff spell, and for the majority of time my party was either relying on Kaclang to make him waste MP, or relying on criticals to do damage. Eventually he actually did run out of MP, and the party beat him down. Sofia had 9MP left after the fight, which was used to Evac and Zoom back to Femiscyra.
Afterwards, the queen allows us to take Borya out of jail, gives us the Ultimate Key to open jail doors, and tells us about the chest in the basement, which holds the Zenithian Shield for Sofia.
With the Ultimate Key in hand, only one thing to do now: raid every town in sight, as locked doors are no longer a problem!
