Larpa

When you get back to the house, you and Gwyn put Lucia on the couch and Gwyn runs downstairs to read his books for a way to break the curse on Lucia. Talk with Lucia (you can talk with Gwyn to first if you like). Lucia tries to stand up, but quickly faints as Hiro catches her.

She explains what happened and why she's looking for Althena. About that time, Gwyn comes back upstairs sayign he can't break the curse, but then remembers about a priest in Larpa named Ronfar. However, since the village is too far away for Lucia to walk, Gwyn prepares the boat while Hiro brings Lucia outside.
When you get Lucia outside, Gwyn tells you more of what you already know, but also says that he isn't coming along. So looks like you'll have to make it without him. Continue outside and walk up to the boat.
Once you're on the boat, go west across the lake to find the dock and then head South and enter Larpa.

When you get to Larpa, stop at the store and upgrade your equipment before looking for Ronfar. Since Ronfar is a priest, you may be tempted to look in the Sanctuary, but talk to the man in the Northeast corner of the bar first. He tells you to check the Sanctuary.

Check the Sanctuary and talk with the Priest on the right side of the Goddess Statue. He rants about how Ronfar isn't a priest anymore and then head back and talk with the man in the bar again.
The man continues to insist he isn't Ronfar, but he will tell you where to find Ronfar if you beat him in a game of dice. Choose "Sure, why not?" to play. It doesn't matter how many times you play, you'll always lose. When you get sick of losing, give up. About that point, Lucia passes out and the man catches her. He offers to put you all up for the night, so, follow him back.
Turns out the man really IS Ronfar, but after talking with him, he insists that he's not a priest and can't help you. About this time, Leo drops by! Eep!! Ronfar goes to meet Leo and almost  rats you out, but he doesn't and a frustrated Leo decides to spend the night in the Sanctuary.
Once Leo leaves, talk with Ronfar again, and accept his offer to play a game of dice for his help. You'll win no matter what you pick you'll win, and then Ronfar joins you. Go get Lucia from the bed and talk to Ronfar again and then make your way through the new entrance at the back of Ronfar's house to enter Larpa Pass.

Larpa Pass is relatively simple to navigate. Just follow the path since there is only one way to go. But -do- grab the chest for an easy 500 S along the way. Once you clear the pass, and make the jump down, walk into the Sanctuary's side entrance (and also grab the chest behind the Sanctuary for and Herb if you haven't already done so).
Once inside the Sanctuary, enter the main chamber that holds the Goddess Statue, and Ronfar has a few flashback moments (and sad ones at that ;_;) before finally breaking the curse on Lucia. However, Lucia is still fairly weakened (meaning that she still won't fight in battles yet).
Just then, the High Priest enters and kicks you out of the Sanctuary. Head back to Ronfar's house for some rest. In the morning, you'll find that Lucia is gone and Ronfar is still sleeping. So, exit the house and go look for her.

Walk all the way to the East side of the village and talk to the man in front of the house wearing a yellow hat. He coughs up Lucia's Bromide 1 and also mentions that he invited her in to meet his wife and baby. Walk inside and chat with his wife.
After listening to the man's wife (and watching a funny flashback sequence ^^), she tells you she sent Lucia to talk with the Mayor. So, head for the mansion on the hill in the North of Larpa. Walk around and grab the Saucepan Lid from the chest on the first floor, and then talk with the Mayor on the 2nd floor. He tells you that Lucia went to the docks and he also takes his "30 S Fee" from you on Lucia's behalf. Once the Mayor is done swindling you, head for the docks to find Lucia.
Once you find Lucia on the pier, she thanks you for your help and heads off without you towards the town of Dalton to hitch a ride to the Holy City of Pentagulia.
As you walk off the pier after Lucia leaves, Ronfar finds you and rants about Lucia's stupidity about going to Dalton cause that's where the Destiny is docked! Ronfar joins you again and agrees to help you save Lucia. Before leaving town, make sure to upgrade Ronfar's equipment and save. Then, exit town and head Northwest to the West Desert Pass.
