From Green Grass village, go up, go left, go up, go up.

Q2: Marine can..... jump???
Yes, and it's even mandatory to complete the game.
Sometimes you will see that a small gap cuts your road - don't go back!
Check with the mouse if the cursor changes to "shoes", and if it does, right-click to jump!
Q3: Is there a Questbook in this game?
Yes - you can access it by pressing S.
Like in 3 Stars of Destiny.

As for keeping track of the main quest, use Marine's TALK skill.
Q4: I have no gold! I cannot buy anything!!
A lot of monsters do not have gold in this game (like it would be the normal way), but they drop items, that you can exchange for money by selling them: Dragonfly Wings, Raw Honey, Muskrat Meat, Bear Meat, Precious Nuggets etc. are only a part of all the items you can sell for money.
There are also other ways to find gold: one of the wells in the Green Grass fields holds 500G, and playing in easy or very easy gives you 100G and 200G more from the start respectively.
Q5: How many episodes are planned in the series?
Aldorlea is planning a total of 5 episodes. You will be able to export your savefiles from one to the next one.

Q6: Is it possible to keep my characters and items from one game to another?
Yes, if you finish the game, you can export your savefile to the following one. All your items will be kept.
