According to the villagers from Aukbal, there should be another tower to the north. If that’s the case, then there’s no choice but to head that way.
The party returned to the village and then departed again. This time they’ll take the Ice Digger!
Over on this side, they were pretty much able to gather the same information. However…
“Whaaat, they told you Corona Tower is to the south? What foooools! It’s those guys in the west section who are the liiiars. The real tower is north of here!” (Action Chart – Check “I”)
“There’s only two of ‘em, this shouldn’t be too difficult,” said Tyrone coolly as he drew his Laser Gun and began blasting. Pew! Pew!
The laser sliced the Mammoth’s trunk right off of its face. With the tilt of a wrist, the laser beam moved and continued slicing through the huge beast’s body.
The Laser Gun’s massive power output was capable of producing much greater damage than either the Needle Gun or the Heat Gun. The Mammoth let out a death roar just as the gun’s photon energy ran out. Alisa and the others finished off the second Mammoth. (+1 COMBAT P, +2 MAGIC P)
“That was an impressive display, Tyrone,” remarked Lutz.
“Eh, this thing can only take on one or two of those big guys at a time. I would’ve been screwed if there had been more,” replied Tyrone as he replaced the energy cartridge on his gun.
The group returned to the outskirts of Aukbal. Eventually, after wandering around in circles for awhile, they came across another tower.
“This must be Corona Tower, I guess. Or not. Who knows, since half the townspeople are liars,” said Alisa, who apparently was talking to herself.
Heading back to the surface, the group headed south towards the village of Aukbal that they had heard about.
The spaceship Luveno came with a built-in vehicle for navigating cold, frozen terrain — the Ice Digger.
After passing over a snowy field for awhile, they came up against the side of an icy cliff.
“There’s two caves lined up next to each other,” remarked Alisa.
“They look like entrances to some underground ice tunnel. Both caves probably lead to Aukbal,” figured Tyrone.
Leaving the Ice Digger behind in Aukbal, Alisa and her comrades headed towards the tower. They had no other choice due to the terrain being covered in canyons and crevices.
“Hey, do you see that? That tower over there on the other side of the valley. I bet you that’s the one.”
“I see trouble coming our way….” said Lutz.
“M-m-mammoths! There’s a whole herd of them!” Alisa’s mouth dropped.
Mammoths are thought to be the largest and most dangerous creatures to exist in the Algol Star System. Encountering a herd of them is one of the things that people fear the most.
Alisa and her comrades came up behind the Mammoths and attacked. Comparing their power to the Mammoths, it was nearly impossible to win thanks to their long trunks and tusks.
They kept attacking and attacking, until finally the two monsters were taken care of. By the time they were defeated, Alisa looked so tired she might fall over, too. (+1 COMBAT P, -2 HP)

The group arrived at the village after making their way through the ice tunnel. This was Aukbal.
The native people were tall and slender, adorned in heavy clothes for keeping themselves warm ― the Dezolians came out to welcome Alisa and her friends. They turned out to be a friendlier group of people than they had given them credit for.
According to them, it seemed that La Shiec had come to Corona Tower.
“Corona Tower! Where is that?”
“About five kilometers north of Aukbal. There’s loads of terrifying monsters in there.”
“I bet… Huh? Why is this village divided into two sections? People live on the other side too, don’t they?”
“Hrumph! The guys on the west half of town are all liars. You should avoid them at all costs.”
“Hmm,” said Alisa. (Action Chart – Check “I”)
Over on this side, they were pretty much able to gather the same information. However…
“Whaaat, they told you Corona Tower is to the north? What iiidiots! It’s those guys in the east section who are the liiiars. The real tower is south of here!”

According to them, it seemed that La Shiec had come to Corona Tower.
“Corona Tower! Where is that?”
“About three kilometers south of Aukbal. There’s loads of terrifying monsters in there.”
