Still playing the game (which I am enjoying), but wanted to leave a couple quick notes. First, when the girl leaves the rebel's house, she can walk up the cave-live exit hole.
Second, the staff's "face image" is really small and can be lost in the background sometimes. I know it might have been a placeholder, but I would suggest either enlarging the staff (even if it gets pixelated) or finding another staff image to use in it's place. There are some nice ones here: https://opengameart.org/content/magic-staffs-set-1
