Part 12: Stones that make things float. Or something.

Chapter 11: Stones that make things float. Or something.


I put this screenshot in here to make a valid point about this next quest. It was extremely difficult to do. So much so that I was looking for Oyster to complete it for me. Luckily, I suppose, he wasn't around and I ended up just doing it myself. This is my stats screen before, and you will see the end result. This quest is hard, but fruitful.


: Ugh, everything was so fucking expensive in that town... and that god damn cult meeting going on...
: Eh, at least we got a canoe out of it. Let's see where it can take us.


So we sail northward. The canoe allows travel on rivers. This little bit of land is actually just to the south east of the power peninsula.


: Oh come on, why do I have to row?! There are four of us, why just me!?


: Look at these ugly bastards!
: Caribe. Lightning based spells ought to do the trick.


As big as these guys are, they really don't present a threat to your party if you're smart. However, they can pack a wallop, and tend to deal critical hits a lot, so be careful.


: Geez, my arms are tired. I thought we would never stop. At least now I can rest.... hey....
: Let's get goin', we have a lot of shit to do.
: Oh, come on Pitu, can I at least stop for a HEAL potion?
: Fine, you stay here and play with your river friends, and we'll go on this quest.


: Pitu, you might want to get Libb back. I don't have a good feeling about this.
: ...Yeah. We're going to need all the help we can get for this one.


: Christ, it's as cold as a witch's tit in here!
Welcome to the Ice Cave, Pitu.


There are a lot of sucky enemies in here. And by sucky, I mean the ones that inflict status effects on our party. Libb was more a healer than anything during this quest, because Pitu's HARM spells and the two Mages FIRE spells became invaluable. Huh, who would have thought, in an ICE cave?


: Great, more stairs. Certainly more battles.
: Maybe just this once, there will be a party waiting for us at the bottom of these stairs!


: AHH! This is not what I had in mind!


: Maybe there's cookies and ice cream at the bottom of these stairs, eh, Libb? You dumb fuck.


: Sharp rocks, I'm sure we can walk on them without harm...


: Oh look, an albino Ass-toast, get him, Oyst!
: Uh... Pitu, Oyst is already dead.
: But the battle just friggin' started! Goddammit!


There is a lot of treasure to be collected here. But at what price? I have no idea how anyone made it through this place before state saving...


: Now what's the purpose of this room?




: Oh boy! Treasure! Treasure! Hooray treasure!


:...Hm...
: Don't even think of accidentally knocking Libb down one of those holes, Pitu.


: You again!? I'll kick your cheap-spell-loving-ass!!


: You really showed him, Medi. How many times do I have to cast LIFE on you chuckle fucks anyway?


: Aw, but that's so stupid. Why would anyone lock that up?


: I'm going to equip this, anyone makes a gay joke, they die.


Jesus, I would hate to see what happened to our heroes if all of those holes weren't somehow magically positioned over that tiny little room.


Yes, back here again. There is a little staircase that takes you back outside. Thanks for that.


: Let's go this way, maybe there's something good over here.


: Frost dragons, eh. How about my FLAME SWORD!!!!!!


: Pitu! Please, heal me, quick!
: I'm tryin', I swear!


: Libb! NO! Oyst, PLEASE! Give me a HEAL potion!
: We're not going to make it!
: Don't talk like that... we... we...


We're fucked.

RELOAD


Thank god there was only one that time.




: I think this place is arguably worse than the Earth Cave.


Another fun enemy. This guy is an ass hole, pure and simple. He has merciless physical attacks.


: Ugh, we're finally making it somewhere.


: JESUS CHRIST MEDI! I am so tired of saving your sorry ass!


: A few more chests like these and we're lookin' at some new spells for Oyst, baby!


Oyst tries to pull a Pitu, which I would usually allow, if we weren't in this godforsaken place. I had to load state.


: Oh god, all that money!


Remember that screenshot from the beginning. This is exactly why this place rocks. We made about 80000+ gold in here!


: I hope that hole is positioned conveniently over something we couldn't reach before.


: Well, this is certainly something we haven't seen before.


: Here, Medi, maybe now you won't die!


: You fuckin' loser!
: Don't worry, I'll take care of this!


: Hm, sometimes I find them in the toilet. Guess someone wanted to put theirs in a chest?
