those bandits are slippery but they are also rather careless. which means they are good at escaping but they should work on being harder to find in the first place

like, everywhere they go, someone sees them. this time its a random fisherman

which means I may or may not be close to their hideout

josh: "wait a minute estelle, take care of anything left before you reserve a room". wow, thats a way to spoil HEAVY PLOT THREADS are about to be unvelied

or maybe its just a fishming minigame. ok

I use google to know what combination of spot, lure and strategy I need to use to get the best fish. then I do it with different combinations to see all pieces of diologue. I get a steam achievement for it

Josh has disappeared. I go to check if the other party members have too, but Schera is in the inn, making Olivier drink with her until he faints. Sorry for your fate, soldier.

Estelle and Josh deliver some FEELS over the pier

you know, Schera's drinking scenes are funny and all, but you stop thinking about it and it's a pretty serious case of alcoholism. I don't expect the game to touch on that, though.

and it turns out she got him drunk so he doesn't join the party for the big confrontation, since he's a civilian. in-story it makes sense, out of story I'm very disappointed

it does mean Schera managed to dodge the mayor's will like a champ, and I respect her more for that

Team Rocket arrives.

they discuss plot with some shady guys who probably work for the main faction. meanwhile, we are going to destroy their ship, so they don't use the same escaping tactic for the 3rd consecutive time

Olivier follows us. The man is a cockroach. A fabulous cockroach. It also means the mayor continues to win.

and he's got an idea I was thinking about myself. Instead of destroying the ship, sneak into it, and have it take us to the hideout

Olivier has the highest intelligence stat in the party and nobody notices it because he's the bard

time to follow their... Trails in the Sky :D

and their hideout is in that place I thought was optional. no optional places in this game I suppose. time to do some good old Team Rocket Hideout crackdown
