Cosmic Fantasy 2 (TGCD - 1992) playthrough, part 2/26 - Sarai Village, Sarai Town, Annie joins

I do a LOT of pointless wandering around in the port of Sarai, forgetting who I had already talked to and what houses I had entered.
Just in case something like a power outage happened while playing, I immediately create a 2nd save file to be able to restart the play session.
At 31:00 in Sarai Town, the game crashes, requiring powering off the console. This happens in both the US and Japanese versions. This is the only place it ever happened to me in multiple playthroughs, and it happened every time.

If you're thinking the Gargoyl looks like a palette swap of the Elite Kobold, that's because it's a Kobold in the Japanese version.
You don't actually need to visit Sarai Village.
If you don't have the Writ of Shura, guards at the entrances of the port town of Sarai will think you might be a spy and won't allow you to enter.
Even though the Tomahawk's description claims women can't use it well, there is no stat reduction for women.
