I'm completely stuck in the game.. I've been at it for an hour or two and finally gave in to ask for help here. I'm at the part in which I've done the Church quest for the Priest, who then went to the library for me to look for help on the curse, but only found an old folk tale. The Priest gave in and left, and one of the party members remarked to go get drunk. I went to the inn and asked for a drink from the innkeeper, but all I got was Kiri bringing the party back to inn, and from then on I haven't been able to progress in the game.. The tower has the mage telling me to come back if I find anything about the Claw, but I've searched the entire library & map and returned empty handed. I think I might have messed something up and glitched the game out. The "Rocky Path" region is completely empty and the guy inside the Tent doesn't have much to say either. I've checked the Port to the north from the Tent, which seems empty. The guard at the root of the mountain refuses to let me in, and I've cleared every quest from the Adventurer's Guild.
I've read old threads about having to talk to the king at the start of the game, which should introduce me to a new village, but the path to the king is blocked by a knight, of which only dialogue is "Enjoy your trip.", the small little intersection of the two towns and the forest has a bunch of guards blocking the way up the ladder, too. They have some dialogue telling me that I can't enter. I've captured the first bounty girl, who was hiding in the fountain at the second town.
I've also read old threads about a slime girl triggering the bridge which would open the way to another continent, but nothing like that has triggered yet.
I stumbled upon the black market place with the arena by accident earlier on in the game, but the Arena of that is constantly closed. I think I may have progressed on the game in an erratic manner which might have blocked some of the story from happening, perhaps? I've tried getting drunk at the inn over and over again in the hopes that it will continue the story, but nothing has happened.. I've searched the Forest pretty much through and through, beaten the tentacle girl at the start of the game, found the empty ruin which has a hole to place something in, I've read that it is a tablet that must be acquired from a maze, but I have no idea what, or where the maze is.
I've also read that there is some sort of orb that must be found, (perhaps the one the girl in the inn is talking about) which should be used at the restricted part of the library to unlock the basement? I've unlocked the restricted part of the basement from the mage in the Tower, but interacting with the bookshelf does nothing. Probably because I don't have the supposed orb/gem, but I don't know where it is located.
I think I've done all I can in the Old Mine, too, by beating the first demon-ish girl at the basement, "rescued" the girl there, but apparently there's another quest which involves the Old Mine, but I haven't gotten the new quest from anyone..
I'd really appreciate help on this, I'm so lost.
UPDATE: Nevermind. I thought the Adventurer's guilds board missions were just randomly generated infinite missions that you can do to earn money, but I started doing them anyway, stumbled upon that one specific flower mission, and then it was sleepy-time~
