There are a couple chests scattered about (usually behind trees) which have a 20% chance to give one of: Mana potion, Herb, Antidote, Magical shell, or 50 gold. There is also the chest previously mentioned behind the tavern which always gives 200 gold.
huh. really? what do you get from casting it? avoid NTR?
As of now, yes. The bandit roaming h scene will be replaced with Luna and the bandits sitting in the tavern, with some text about how anon doesn't like it. There is some inaccessible dialog in this scene, though, where Luna says that Raze is going to take them to a higher level area to train, then the roaming h scene would unlock anyways.
