The Third Hour - Season's Garden

I think it's time again. I'm standing in front of the clock tower door as it remains ajar, beckoning the town to explore the inside once more. What kind of thing shall we be expecting this time around?

I wander up the stairs and, expectantly, I'm in an unfamiliar area. This time I'm in a greenhouse, the walls replaced with glass panels covered in vine and moss as a strong shone through the ceiling glass. It's kind hot here, but it's a good thing I don't dress heavily anyways. The floor is path of grass, flowers of all sorts sprouting from the corners. There's shelves of plotted plants lining various edges along the walls...I can't even name some of these plants...

In the distance, I hear something stomping...I stay back a back and observe, a bit intimidated by what's coming around the corner. There's a large, and twisted venus fly trap - like monster with a massive maw and gigantic. thorny leaves...it stomps by the hallway opening. Jeez... I hope we don't run into that. 'Til then, I need help here.



Navigating the Chronon Maxia Clock Tower
In Clock Tower floors , you must start at the beginning of a map and find your way to the exit. Start first by forming a party, then you may enter the clock tower. You MAY use multiple parties, but only ONE group may be in a battle at a time.

Everyone in the party must take turns rolling the Movement die. This die dictates how many spaces you will move on the map. Your party moves together when you roll.
If you have 10 Speed, you are allowed 2 rolls of the movement die instead of 1.
When you roll, be sure to say what direction you're moving in (up, down, left, or right). Say in advance if you're going to turn at a specific fork in the road OR YOU WILL STOP THERE. Plan ahead, even if you end up rolling less than that.

If you ever pass a red spot marked with a number, you will be forced to roll an encounter die (S1) next turn instead of rolling for movement. If you do run into an encounter, you will roll the enemy groups die and fight monsters according to the level indicated on the red space.

If you are adjacent to a point of interest (marked with a green square with a ? ), you may choose to examine it on your turn rather than roll the movement die.

If you are adjacent to a a purple space labeled "GS", you can choose to gather from that spot. You can only gather once from these points, and the gather amount is based on the current member's stamina.

Gardener’s Notes:

(The date at the top is indiscernible, the name is scratched out with ink)

I’ve spent a lot of time in the garden this year. I’m trying my best to see if I can grow these flowers outside of their natural seasonal patterns. They say you can’t defy nature, but alas, I am determined!

(Lower down on the paper, a date and name is scratched out as well)

After 8 months of hard work and research, I’ve finally discovered a proper way to grow all plants all year round! I have discovered that the secret lies in the soil itself, using a mixture of

Melody grabs the fucking letter and looks over it like a boss.

Dear (the name addressed is garbled with random letters and print),

I feel like I’ve bided too long to tell you, and even now, I’m still too bashful to do so. Every day, I stand aside you as you do your daily routines, I lend you a hand and take a gaze upon your handsome face… I feel like logic and research has clouded my mind to the truth for the longest time, but I can’t deny that I love

(The letter is ripped here, but a small piece of note paper has been attached)

In Summer’s air we float about,
In Winter’s air we stay below,
In Spring’s air, we reach all out,
In Autumn’s air, we start to slow.

Jenna tried to read over Melody's shoulder, but soon gave up and began walking.

Melody looks over the pots and takes the seeds, placing them in this order:

Boltonia
Dahlia
Azaleas
Cyclamen

The vases spit the seeds back out!

Maybe those are Fall Boltonias?

Melody sighs and looks up for a minute, thinking, before placing the seeds again,
Cyclamen
Dahlia
Azaleas
Boltonia

It doesn't seem to be the right order of flowers....
I think we first need to find out the season that these flowers grow through.
I looked at my encyclopedia, here's a clue...

Cyclamens have a tuber, from which the flowers and roots grow. In most species, leaves come up in autumn, grow through the winter, and die in spring, then the plant goes dormant through the dry Mediterranean summer

"Nuapurista kuulu se polokan tahti
jalakani pohjii kutkutti.
Ievan äiti se tyttöösä vahti
vaan kyllähän Ieva sen jutkutti,"
she got bored and her mind is off in it's own little world now

Melody slams his head on one of the pots

Dahlia
Cyclamen
Azaleas
Boltonia

A draw props itself open, and inside, there's a key!

Obtained Sun Key!
