Part 13




Alright, updating even though I'm the only one who has posted in this thread in like three days.


Cave


Uh, thanks. Hey they're not in my way, awesome!


It really is a small town, geez.



ARE YOU A MONSTER?!

Uh. . . no? Do I look like one?

Oh sorry, we got attacked by monsters recently, everyone is on edge.

Some way to treat travelers!

Fucking jerks. Anyway.


Who is Jerin and what is going on here?


Wait. . . did you guys sacrifice her? To monsters?!



But, Jerin offered herself in my place. I was wrong. I just wanted to see her again and apologize. I feel so helpless, I can't rescue her. But hey, maybe you, random travelers I've never met before, can! Go see my brother in a cave to the southwest where he spends all his time, alone, in a monster filled cave, and he'll give you a key to the other cave to the west, which, if you pass through, will take you to the Dais where Jerin is.

Wow. So I have to go through a cave, to get a key to go through another cave, to get to a thing where I find this girl I don't give a shit about? This is really gay, she better be like magical or have a huge rack or something.

And hey, new area means NEW ENEMIES, right?!


Poison Rats and Beetles! Awesome, I love gross vermin and bugs.


here's da cave.


Blue Wolves! And more annoying swordspooks! Actually this one dropped another scimitar for me, which was awesome.


MUD MAN! Golem, perhaps? Anyway, they can cast strong which is more annoying than anything else.


Har har, she learned Stronger, GET IT?! That's actually kind of stupid.


Aw damn, I hate it when the path forks. Luckily, the south path takes me to the dude, and the rest is all TREASURE!


More like "gets killed in one hit bee" because they're weak as fuck!


Mummy, do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Actually, these mummies bite you for some reason. Hey remember that episode of the Megaman cartoon where a mummy turned all the people into lions for some bizzare unknown reason? Anyway.


Shut up and give me the key


Thanks pal. Hey, since Mixam is on level 15, I can go to a new level of the Old Cave!


Okay. Actually, it's a short floor, all the treasure is pretty much lumped into one room.


GOLDMINE! However, no crown, but tons of powerful armor and weapons.


Of course, they put the crown behind tons of toxic marsh. And also there are some newer enemies on this floor.


ORCS! More like pig people? And red orbs, which like the green orbs before them are weak against magic, however these orbs can cast mirror, which is like the spell reflect. So sometimes your own magic gets reflected back, those jerks!

Time to go to the other cave to rescue Jerin.


I'm starting to get sick of cave, what am I, a spelunker?!


DOOR OPEN wait is that like a catch phrase, I saw adbot use it but I have no idea what it means.


CHEST MIMICS?! They actually are really hard to kill, like to flee, and give you pretty good EXP. Or maybe it's lots of money they give you. You fight these "cube" enemies later that give you tons and tons of EXP but are also hard to kill and tend to flee.


Oh hey I'm out of that cave, which was actually annoyingly long though it had tons of treasure. And hey new island = new enemies!


I can't help but think "Desert Rose" is referring to something. . . so I guess sand rose fits better though.


WORST SPIDERMAN VILLAIN EVER! YOU RUINED SPIDERMAN 3 ASSHOLE!

Oh and I didn't take a screen of the outside of the Dais but believe me it is the same sprite as those mysterious shrines I've come across.



Whoa, Jerin is just a child.

Not exactly. Look closer! I can't because I'm facing the other way, but my intuition tells me she's a half-elf, so we can't determine her age just by looking at her! I've never seen a half-elf before, I wonder if she's my type? What should we do?

Try asking her out?

No no what should WE do!

We should beat up those guards and take her back.

Yeah but they'll just kidnap someone else!

We need to stop this kidnapping nonsense once and for all!

Damn I was hoping he'd say Kidnapping business because I had a funny joke lined up. BLAST! Well the guards are douches and won't move, so. . .

Oh also, you can heal at those pots and save with the priest who is here for some strange reason.


Normally I wouldn't comply and leave, but that's the only way to continue the story.


Crap


Hey wait angry winged thing what are you doing don't


No wait bring her back FUCK NOW I HAVE TO DO EVEN MORE SHIT TO GET HER FUCK FUCK FUCK THIS IS THE LONGEST FETCH QUEST EVER, JESUS CHRIST!


GOD DAMN IT!

I HATE TOWERS THEY HAVE HIGH ENCOUNTER RATES AND ARE LONG AND JESUS WHY DID THEY THINK THIS WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA?!?!?!



Well I mean I guess because I'm doing you all a favor by playing through this instead of you, I'll continue on. I mean, I've beaten this game before, plus I mean Jerin is a half-elf and I need an elf to be able to get to Elfrea to see Artea and figure out why the fuck I'm even doing this in the first place.
