This game shouldn't be horribly long:

1-0: Tutorial

2-0: Town of Riverdale?
	Here, we'll be able to purchase quests, and find people in 		need of assistance. This is the first of three towns. 			You'll also be able to heal here, stock up on magic, etc.

2-1: First Mission - Bottom of the Barrel
	The first mission is a grim one. The pipe in the local 	tavern's basement is busted. To make matters worse, rats 	are running amuke in the basement. Fix the pipes while 	avoiding/killing the rats, and get out of there.

2-2: Aspear Berries
2-3:
2-4:Boss Battle

3-0: Mountain Town?

3-1: 
3-2:
3-3: Boss Battle



Drop throwing, and just have freezing spell? Throwing is too tough.
I could make a shorter game with the freezing spell.
