I finished the Denadoro (sp?) mountain range in Chrono Trigger. The area itself was easy to get through, but I lost twice when fighting Masa and Mune in their combined form. It uses some very powerful attacks, one that hits all party members. I was just more careful, and won on my third try, receiving the broken Masamune.

Next, I went to the town and got the Hero Medal from Tata and brought it to Frog. But he still doesn't join until the sword is repaired. Melchior tells you that you need to get the Red Stone from the prehistoric era to fix the Masamune, so I went there.

After the story stuff where the gate key is stolen, I went through the forest maze (again, very simple area) and saved outside the cave.
