[Romance] You roll a 20 (required 9). Critical success‼
You tell Clear Fountain that you'll do your best to fit in, and ask about the strange feeling you had when you entered the town.
Clear Fountain: "A strange feeling? Hmm... that could have been the antimagic field you felt at the gate. Every city in Midgard is protected by one of those, so no magic can make it past our walls."
You nod; that would explain it. But then, you notice something subtle in the cleric's body language: a hint that she could use a helping hoof herself.
And so, with a look as sultry as a summer heat wave, you strike an inviting pose, and jokingly remark that the field wasn't powerful enough to stop her from putting you under a spell. Her eyes light up at the display, and she returns a coy grin back at you.
Clear Fountain: "Oh. Oh my. You do seem a little... stiff. Did I cause this? Heh, well, there is something I could do to take care of it. Why don't you follow me to my private chamber? Your friends are welcome to join, of course."
Moonflower: "Heehee! That's the Blazer I know. Hey, Basket, wanna come practise what ya learned earlier?"
Apple Basket: "W-what? Right now? With you? Uh, o-okay!"
You follow Clear Fountain inside the temple, and down a few stairs to the living quarters. She leads you to her apartment at the end of a sunlit corridor, and once everypony is inside, she closes the thick wooden door behind you.
Leaving a trail of equipment on the floor, you all climb onto the large, soft bed by the far wall, and waste no time getting into the action. Your lips meet those of your new friend, and you lose yourselves in a tender yet passionate kiss.
As you begin to make sweet love to the golden-haired cleric, you can't help but crack a smile at the younger pair next to you: only just getting started and already making a mess, much to the farmpony's embarrassment, and the bat pony's delight...
An hour or so passes. After a few rounds of fun and some obligatory cuddles, you all meet in a spacious shower tub, and each enjoy a warm, thorough wash.
Clear Fountain: "Phew! That was lovely. If there are more freehearted ponies where you come from, then perhaps I should visit someday."
You tell Clear Fountain that there are indeed plenty, and that she is more than welcome to come by your house any day. She takes note of it, just in case!
Once out of the wet room, you start picking up and redonning your gear, and ask the unicorn if she knows where you could find a map of the area.
Clear Fountain: "A map? I believe I should have a spare one of those lying around... ah, there it is."
You get Map of Midgard! You are not wearing saddlebags, so Moonflower holds onto it for now.

If this keeps going, there will be an army of kids trying to get Trailblazer to stop with the "flirting".
But still, there are other reasons than medicines and rings for foals not to be a concern. And we do have the QM's word.
(I am also aware of how ridiculous and silly that idea is. Also... I think I actually have a next action I'll be posting in a few minutes.)
Note the compass detail for later. We really should ask again about that detail about the king being open to being challenged about his point of view. It's a discussion that could lead us to avoid these towns, or gain the kings aid in one quest, the other, or even both.
...on second thought, tell me if I need to split that bit in half, complement from command. It is a bit long.
Good times were had by all, but we should focus on the task at hand. What can Clear Fountain tell us more specifically about the island and its geography? Or maybe she could point us to a geographer or historian or something? Ask about landmarks and such to try and learn where the Yggdrasil Tree may be, preferably without being too overt about it. You never know.
