Story
After using the key received from Pomposo at his studio, the party uses it at the clocktower in town, which causes time to completely stop for all the townspeople. Only the party is able to move about freely. They venture into the basement of Pomposo's old studio in town to find that a painting of a clocktower has become a rift in the space-time continuum. Inside is a pocket dimension where the laws of physics do not apply and the party must move about with a series of portals. Eventually they run into the Time Being and two of his lackeys tinkering with a large hourglass filled with the Sands of Time, which is forcing the people of El Ciclo to repeat the same day over and over again. The villain is shocked to find humans there inside the dimension, who threatens them with death after he inquires how they were able to find him. After defeating the Time Being, the party is able to smash the hourglass and return time back to normal for El Ciclo. They take some of the sands with them, which will allow them to restart at the beginning of any battle as if nothing has happened.
Treasures
Warning: Inside the Time Frame is only accessible for a short period of time, meaning that all of the treasures found here, save for the Sands of Time, will be forever lost if they are not acquired.
