Chapter 17:A Sad, Lonely Man and a Prison Sequence

(Kidd) Now, to the icy reaches of Greenlad!
![](2-Screen01.png)
![](4-Male_Sage_Head.PNG)
(JOKEBOT) GUY DETECTED ON GREENLAD. SANTA POSSIBILITY....22%.

When was it last? It must've been when the pirates came here. They left a strange bone with me... By the way, have you ever heard about the Change Staff?
![](8-Male_Mage_Head.PNG)
(Magal) Sure! It's a staff that alters the appearance of the users. It's been lost for some time, though...
![](7-Old_Man_Head.PNG)
I heard that the King of Samanosa had something like it. You could reach Samanosa through a travelers door... But unfortunately, the portal is behind a locked door that only the Final Key can open.
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) Nifty as that is, what does that have to do with us?
![](7-Old_Man_Head.PNG)
I've wanted it for such a long time.
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) Why?
![](7-Old_Man_Head.PNG)
Do you really want to know what horrible things I would want to do on this lonely island with a staff that changes what I look like?
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) On second thought, no. But which travel door could it be in?
![](4-Male_Sage_Head.PNG)
(JOKEBOT) ANALYZING TRAVEL DOORS FOR YOUR LAZY ASS...BING. IT'S RIGHT OVER THERE, YOU ASS. LIKE 10 SQUARES AWAY BY BOAT.
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) Then onward!
![](9-Screen05.png)
![](4-Male_Sage_Head.PNG)
(JOKEBOT) BEEP BEEP BLIP BEEP. YOU GUYS ARE LAZY.
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) And you're getting sassy.
![](12-Male_Fighter_Head.PNG)
(Max) There's no need to abuse him in such a fashion, he is being very helpful, after all.
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) Would you please be so kind as to tell me which of the three gates here that we should take?
![](4-Male_Sage_Head.PNG)
(JOKEBOT) WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR A JOKE?
![](8-Male_Mage_Head.PNG)
(Magal) *sighs* Sure. Why not?
![](4-Male_Sage_Head.PNG)
(JOKEBOT) WHAT DO YOU CALL A SLIME WITH THREE EYES?
![](8-Male_Mage_Head.PNG)
(Magal) What?
![](4-Male_Sage_Head.PNG)
(JOKEBOT) A SLIIIME.
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) That's... less terrible that your usual jokes. Good job!
![](4-Male_Sage_Head.PNG)
(JOKEBOT) TAKE THE EAST GATE IN HERE.
![](12-Male_Fighter_Head.PNG)
(Max) Thank you.
![](13-Screen08.png)
![](12-Male_Fighter_Head.PNG)
(Max) The Grizzly is an extra-powerful bear, which is to be expected, really. But be careful of them, as they can mess you up - sometimes, they can do as much at 120 damage in one attack! The Magic Hag is a tough little monster who (surprise surprise!) casts a lot of magic. The Tortragon is a high-defense enemy with a few breath attacks, and can sometimes Ram a party member out of the party. When that happens, all you can do is go back to Ruida's and pick them back up.

![](19-Brown_Haired_Guy_Head.PNG)
Oh, Brennan! He was such a good man.
![](20-Merchant_Head.PNG)
He was executed for bad-mouthing the king! How absurd! We can't live like this!
![](21-Priest_Head.PNG)
Oh God! Let Brennan rest in peace...
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) The King is resorting to such methods to keep his people from rebelling? It's time to act!
![](7-Old_Man_Head.PNG)
They say Baramos plans on destroying the world, so I guess there's no reason to live anymore.
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) Just you wait, old man. When we kill Baramos, you're going to be so pissed that you're dead and haunt the earth as a ghost.
![](23-Old_Woman_Head.PNG)
The king sleeps alone on the second floor. That castle's a dangerous place though...
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) I'm going to go and talk to him right now!
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) Well, we've been 'summoned' by his poor attitude toward his people and seek to put an end to his reign of terror!
![](25-Guard_Head.PNG)
Don't lie to me! I wasn't told about you!
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) Well, okay. We'll go in the back way.
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) Then it's a good thing that none of us are really gentlemen, isn't it?
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) Medal #27-In a barrel within the kitchen of Samanosa Castle. But on to the king! He will be unable to stop us in the face of our righteous fury!
![](29-King_Head.PNG)
Throw them in prison immediately!
![](25-Guard_Head.PNG)
Okay! Move it!!
![](12-Male_Fighter_Head.PNG)
(Max) This was unexpected.
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) I know! We're heroes! We aren't supposed to be imprisoned by kings!
![](25-Guard_Head.PNG)
And shut the hell up!
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) Oh no, how will we escape.
![](8-Male_Mage_Head.PNG)
(Magal) I have a plan... I'll kill... Max. Then we'll call for the guards to check on him, since he's dead. From there, I'll snap their necks, get the keys, and leave.
![](12-Male_Fighter_Head.PNG)
(Max) I'm not the biggest fan of this plan. And how would you go about snapping my neck, anyway? I've got greasy-fast speed and the strength of ten men.
![](8-Male_Mage_Head.PNG)
(Magal) We'll see about that...
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) Or we can just take our Final Key, which can open *this kind of door*, and walk away.
![](8-Male_Mage_Head.PNG)
(Magal) Or we could just do that.
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) Being in prison doesn't obviate the need to loot everything! Small Medals (of which this is the 28th we've found), are still vital!
![](32-Bard_Head.PNG)
I'm a wandering bard. A man named Simon died in the jail of a lake shrine far notheast of Romaly. I wonder if I'll die in prison like he did...
![](33-Pink_Girl_Head.PNG)
Monsters are haunting people. It's really scary...
![](34-Swordsman_Head.PNG)
Supposedly, the Mirror of Ra shows ones true self in its reflection. It's in a cave south of here. I was put in jail for talking about this. I don't see what the big deal is though!
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) Let's take this other passage... wait... what's this?
![](29-King_Head.PNG)
Someone stole my Change Staff and has assumed my form...
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) What an unexpected twist! Well, time to leave. We'll come back here at night...
![](12-Male_Fighter_Head.PNG)
(Max) Actually... remember how I had family in Tedanki?
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) Yeah...
![](12-Male_Fighter_Head.PNG)
(Max) They had a thing in their attic that might be useful for killing time.
![](8-Male_Mage_Head.PNG)
(Magal) This... this is a Lamp of Darkness! Lighting it makes it night-time, somehow. It's convenient if you need to wait until nighttime for some skulduggery.
![](12-Male_Fighter_Head.PNG)
(Max) But what do you do if it's already night and you need it to be daytime?
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) Sleep at an inn, obviously. But back to Samanosa!
![](12-Male_Fighter_Head.PNG)
(Max) What's the point in that? We can't do anything about the 'king' until we can prove he's a monster. We need to go get that Mirror of Ra!
![](1-Hero_Head.PNG)
(Kidd) Then let's do this!
Next time:Dungeon-busting again! Hurrah!
