Part 17: The Road to Rhone, but not really.

(Kiefer) Let the reformations begin!

Now, we have to train for this difficult area. LET THE GENOCIDE OF THE METAL BABBLES BEGIN!

Some time later...

(Gilme) I'm covered to my hips in silvery metallic goo!
Time to move on. Let's start strolling around this bizzarely circuitous snowfield.

Now I wonder what's in there...

Wise Old Man: If you're going ahead, prepare yourselves...
There's a priest and a shop in here as well. They sell nice things, but nothing new. The portal just takes us out of the area in case it was too tough. It's not - for us!

(Machua) Wait a minute... Those aren't snowmen!
(Luin) Yes they are?
Well, they're not just snowmen! They're Snomes!
Embarassed Snome: You got me! Since you found me out, I lose, huh? I'll give my heart for now. Next time, I won't lose...


Weird! Well, these might be important later or something. Just one more place in here to check out...


This place looks...

(Kachua) AHHHH! DRAGONS MADE OF SWORDS! They're light on the feet and shoot lightning! Demon Monks learn more generic cleric spells, like Heal and Infernos.

This place is pretty straightforward. Three floors with nothing to really do but go straight up. No silly gimmics or anything, thankfully.

(Getz) The Archdemons we've seen before - Venasu was one until recently, after all. They're pretty solid - good defense and HP, good attack, and useful skills. The Mad Hornet is a major irritant, though - They have both Poison and Paralysis attacks, and if all members of the party are paralyzed, we immediately lose the battle.

It's just a beefed up Gigantes. It looks exactly the same, too... Hits a lot harder, though, and is much more durable. He'll just smash and smash and smash, with a high crit-rate. He does incredible damage when he does so - 180-200. Be careful!

(Gordon) These guys seem like they should be more annoying than they end up being. I suppose that if we were heavily reliant on wind and air-based attacks, they'd be trouble. But we can just smack 'em around with normal stuff and be on our way.

(Deckson) This devil is simply a more powerful form of the AgDevil. More attacks than the Atlas, but not as many HP. Much easier to take down.

(Raider) This guy is kinda tough. Lots of HP, Defense, and excellent abilities. But he guards the last set of stairs in the place!

That's us!
(Domedy) I am Domedy. I am the greatest of the four Illusions of the heavens. Tes, I have the last remaining Orb of Loto... However! I am concerned about handing over such a precious thing to you. Why are you seeking the power of the Orbs of Loto anyway?
Our stated reason is best told by our publicist, Luin.
I want to wish upon the Orbs for my parents' illness to be cured!
Wishing upon the Orbs? I see...
A Flash Occurs!
Whoah... This power... What is it?

Oh! Hey! I remember you.
(Magarugi) There is no time to waste. Bring the Orbs of Loto to me. Raise the Orbs of Loto, and revive the long lost continent!
I understand... Illusion Master... I will give them... the Orb... But their... inventory... is full... at the moment...
My bad. Let me eat this apple.

Know your enemy... Know yourself... Know... the world...
Sweet! The Orb of Wisdom!
We did it! We gathered all four of the Orbs of Loto! What do we do now?
The altar of revival... This castle... North of this castle...
Ohhh... is that what those weird statues were for? Makes sense. Aight - Kiefer out.

Illusions... Gwaaaah! (Domedy disappears, probably disintegrated).

Monster Reformations

Slalon:

Slalon + Crystal Slime + Opabi = Spin Slime. The Spin Slime is a slime built like a slender top with a lot of spikes. He learns a few dances, and is another 5 star monster. 1 lighter.
Slalon + Slime Knight + Blizzard = Master Slime. Another top shelf monster, the Master Slime is an ordinary looking slime with a bitchin' helm. Learns Lighting, IceBolt, and Vivify. Same weight.

Venasu:

Venasu + Gigantes + BombCrag = Dragon Rider.
The Dragon Rider is 1 heavier, but the wagon wouldn't have to be changed. No useful abilities, but great stats and Venasu has the abilities he needs.
Venasu + Demonite + Blizzard = Lamp Genie.
Same weight, useful powers, and I believe that there are good resistances as well. Can't be made if we go with the Master Slime.


Zugats:

Zugats + Roboster+ Phantom Glass = Roboster. Lighter than the the Golem, it's a goddamn murder robot. One of the coolest monster designs ever, plus fast and strong.
Zugats + Puppet Man + Pod Hero = Lava Djinn. AKA Lava Man. Also lighter than the Golem, and learns fire attacks.

Carol can't change (Still level 1), but we can start bringing her along.
